Jack Eichel transformed into a two-way force with the Vegas Golden Knights. Coach Bruce Cassidy's system emphasized defense, a contrast to Eichel's Buffalo days. Eichel earned trust through penalty kills and defensive plays.

VEGAS (May 2, 2025) – The National Hockey League announced today that Vegas Golden Knights forward **Jack Eichel** has been selected as one of the three finalists for the 2024-25 Lady Byng Memorial Trophy, given annually to the player who best combines sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct with a high standard of playing ability.

The Vegas Golden Knights picked up a big Game 4 win over the Minnesota Wild on Saturday. This win drew the two teams level at two games apiece. Entering Game 5, this series could certainly go either way. Especially if the Golden Knights can get star forward Jack Eichel going again offensively.
