In this week's edition of Monday Morning Headlines, we take a look at the active point streaks of Jack Eichel and Tomas Hertl, the newly named third line sparking a big win over the Florida Panthers and we check in on how former Vegas Golden Knights are doing around the NHL.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Jack Eichel's net worth is estimated at around $30 million as of January 2025. Eichel signed an eight-year, $80 million contract with the Buffalo Sabres in 2017.

Jack Eichel came to Las Vegas in 2021 with lofty expectations that he has mostly fulfilled. That included helping lead the Golden Knights to the Stanley Cup championship two seasons ago.

As the trade deadline slowly approaches, the Toronto Maple Leafs will have plenty of work that needs to get done in terms of addressing their needs. General Manager Brad Treliving has made it clear for months that their top priority is to acquire another centre to help shore up their depth.

On Sunday, the NHL revealed the Vegas Golden Knights’ quarter-century team. As you’d expect, most of the players featured on the “roster” were on the 2023 Stanley Cup Championship team.

The club is last in the Eastern Conference with an 18-26-5 record and, barring an unprecedented run, the playoff drought that’s chased off season-ticket holders will reach 14 years.

Tage Thompson and JJ Peterka each had a hat trick and an assist to lead the Buffalo Sabres to a 7-2 win against the Boston Bruins on Tuesday night. Thompson and Peterka became the first pair to score a hat trick in the same game for the Sabres since 2008.

The Buffalo Sabres are on the brink of allowing their playoff drought to continue into its 14th season, despite rebuild after rebuild. First, there was the “tank for Connor McDavid”, but they failed at that and ended up with Jack Eichel instead.

With trade speculation swirling about Buffalo Sabres center Dylan Cozens, 20-year-old Jiri Kulich impressed coach Lindy Ruff on the first line.

Tage Thompson and JJ Peterka each recorded a hat trick and an assist to lead the Buffalo Sabres to a 7-2 win over the visiting Boston Bruins on Tuesday. Thompson scored in each period en route to his seventh career hat trick and first of the season,

While the Flames don’t currently have any forwards in their system who look like they’ll be bonafide superstars like the two former Sabres stars, they’re banking on the idea that maintaining an internal culture where winning is a goal and an expectation will bring out the best in the young players they do have.

He also endured a few rocky seasons with the Sabres that ended in him being bought out. In his first year with the Edmonton Oilers, he’s gone from a high-profile free-agent signee to someone struggling to get into the lineup.
