BarDown puts Jack Eichel on a high-profile list for the 2026-27 season

It's well-known within the Vegas Golden Knights community that they've never had a single player score 100 or more points in a single season. Not Jack Eichel, not Mark Stone, not even Mitch Marner. But the aforementioned Eichel is featured on a list from BarDown that discusses this exact topic.

On Saturday, BarDown asked a question on Twitter about which NHL player would eclipse the century mark in points. Eichel's name was brought up, specifically because he achieved a career-high of 94 points in 2024-25.

Now, Mitch Marner doesn't qualify for this list for one reason. He eclipsed the 100-point mark in 2024-25, scoring 27 goals and 75 assists with the Toronto Maple Leafs. That's why you're not seeing his name on the list, since he already achieved the feat.

Still, the consensus is on the Olympic gold medalist to be the first Golden Knight to shatter the century mark in franchise history. He's recorded back-to-back seasons of 90 or more points and has stayed on the ice for longer periods. Although hitting the century mark in points is harder in today's NHL, the expectation is that he's in line to become the first.

But is that actually the case? Will the Vegas Golden Knights actually have their Olympic hero eclipse the vaunted mark or will one of his teammates actually take it down first?

Looking at Jack Eichel's stats in recent years with the Vegas Golden Knights

Similar to the Mark Stone article involving points, let's do the same and look at Eichel's stats. Ironically, the same logic applies here with Stone's output. That would be an increase in production in recent years tied to his games played, except for Eichel's 2025-26 campaign.

Up until 2025-26, Eichel's point totals with the Golden Knights increased, along with his expected goals. But the one stat that kept rising and didn't dip was points per game. Last season, Eichel hit the 1.22 mark with the Golden Knights, despite scoring fewer points. That's because he played three fewer games, giving him time to rest up.

Still, the fact remains that a healthy Eichel is capable of shattering the century mark. He's a high-volume producer who has incredible offensive weapons to help him out. Names like Stone come to mind, although they could also be the players who break the feat first.

What would it take for Eichel to break the century mark for the first time in Golden Knights (and his) history?

Obviously, health is a big factor in the equation. You can't forget that he had artificial disc replacement surgery before stepping on the ice for the Golden Knights. He must be careful not to get hurt again or the team itself will be hurt. With that will come a dip in production.

But the good news—if played right—is the addition of two more games. That gives Eichel two more opportunities to post solid numbers. Imagine the Olympic gold medalist scoring six or more points in that span. If he had that in 2024-25, he would've hit the century mark with ease.

Doing the math, Eichel could easily achieve this. If he played all 84 games this season (or beyond), he would have 102.48 estimated points (points per game x games played). Heck, if he even missed two games, he would be just over the century mark (100.04 estimated points with 82 games played).

The deck is stacked in Eichel's favor to break the mark if he remains healthy. If he can add a few more games to his workload, that bodes well for his history-making mark. Not only would it be good for his career-highs, but it would be great for the Golden Knights.

You know what they say. History favors the bold.
