LAS VEGAS — Jack Eichel came to Las Vegas in 2021 with lofty expectations that he has mostly fulfilled, including helping lead the Golden Knights to the Stanley Cup championship two seasons ago. Now he has taken his game to an even higher level.

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 Golden Knights played a strong defensive game and beat the Florida Panthers 4-1 at T-Mobile Arena on Sunday. Center Jack Eichel scored his third goal in two games. Defenseman Brayden McNabb also scored for the Knights (31-15-4) in just their third win in their last 10 games (3-6-1).

The 4 Nations Face-Off is now less than two weeks away. It begins Feb. 12 at Bell Centre in Montreal. Most NHL teams have six, seven or eight games remaining before the League breaks for the first best-on-best hockey tournament since the World Cup of Hockey 2016.

Anton Lundell scored for Florida, which was playing its second game in as many nights after cruising to a 7-2 victory against the San Jose Sharks on Saturday.

NHL trade deadline is over a month away, with plenty of time for big moves, yet we’ve already seen a splash that can’t be topped. The Colorado Avalanche traded superstar winger Mikko Rantanen to the Carolina Hurricanes for Martin Necas in a move that will have massive ramifications this season and for years to come.

The truth is that Pettersson's play has lessened his trade value. He has just 11 goals in 43 games, three red lights in his last 10 games, and one in his last nine. He's struggled at times to look engaged in play, and it's clear his issues with Miller are affecting his on-ice ability.

Vegas' winning run at home dropped to 10-4-1, while it lost the season series to the Stars, losing two of three (1-1-1).
