Every day brings more good news for Jack Eichel.

Most recently, he joined the club on a road trip that began in Washington, D.C. He'll continue to learn the Golden Knights' players and systems as his return approaches.
While Eichel is still wearing a no-contact jersey in practise, the good news is on its way.
''I get cleared for contact 12-week post-op, so I think that's beginning of February.'' said Jack Eichel
''The thing that I didn't really understand and still don't is, as if I was going to make a decision that was going to compromise my ability to play hockey. My goal is to be the best hockey player that I can be and perform every night. I'm not going to make a decision or do something that I think is going to deteriorate my career. You really just have to become selfish. At the end of the day that's what I ended up telling myself. I've got to be selfish because no one else is going to look after me better than I'm going to look after myself.'' said Eichel
