It took three games, but Jack Eichel now has his first point at the 2015 World Hockey Championships.
Eichel, the Boston University standout projected to be the No. 2 overall pick at this June’s draft, registered an assist on Trevor Lewis’ opening tally as the U.S. jumped out to a 1-0 lead over Russia in today’s group action:
The tournament’s been an adjustment for Eichel thus far, as it’s the first time he’s played with professionals. He played 14:47 in the first game -- a 5-1 win over Finland -- but finished with a minus-1 rating and two PIM. In the U.S.'s second game, a 2-1 win over Norway, Eichel received more ice time (18:12) but took a pair of minor penalties.
