The worst is confirmed for NHL star player and Stanley Cup Champion

Coach Bruce Cassidy confirmed the news, stating that the injury was discovered during a routine checkup when Eichel reported soreness.

While no specific timeline for Eichel's return was provided, it seems this absence will extend beyond a single game.

With Eichel joining a list of injured players, including Bjornfot, Carrier, Hill, Hutton, Karlsson, Lehner, Miromanov, and Theodore, it's likely he will be placed on the injured reserve list.
