Eichel has achieved this feat in his last five road games when playing against a team with a winning record. Mark Stone, Eichel`s teammate, shows a similar trend; his projection of 2.2 shots on goal would make it six consecutive road games over 1.5 shots against winning opponents. On the other side of the ice, Kirill Kaprizov is projected to have a quieter night offensively, estimated to record only 0.5 points.
