Veteran center signed this season from the Columbus organization. Unfortunate that they get called up when the Amerks have 2 big games in Laval this weekend.
Like most who leave the Sabres, he’ll likely achieve his potential on another team. Thought he and a defenseman like Power or Byrum would bring a top line veteran forward in the offseason.
Someone pointed out that McDavid was relatively held in check while Eichel was playing against him. When they switched to Matthews he lost coverage which resulted in the game winner.
