Remember the Mitch Marner stat total that was predicted this week? If you haven't noticed, we're highlighting five key stars for the Vegas Golden Knights this season. We're focusing on three forwards, a defenseman, and a goaltender.
I'm just clarifying ahead of time, so all the good people are aware. That way, you're not shocked when you see another one for Mark Stone or, say, Shea Theodore. I'm feeling generous, so I'm giving you a few spoilers for the upcoming days.
Anyway, it's time to focus on Jack Eichel for this iteration. Last season, the Olympic gold medalist posted another season of 90 points or more. In fact, he posted exactly 90 points (27 goals and 63 assists), hitting the mark for good measure.
You know what time it is, dear reader. It's time to make some bold predictions. We're diving into the numbers and seeing what went wrong for Eichel last season. We're also seeing what the stat line for Captain America will be in the 2026-27 season. Let's crunch some numbers for the upcoming season and fight Thanos, shall we?
Breaking down Jack Eichel's Golden Knights numbers from last season
Last season wasn't the best campaign for the Golden Knights superstar. Eichel's stats were down across the board, which even bled over into the postseason.
That's why fans shouldn't be surprised by the stats from last season. Let's look at some key stats from the prior campaign and see what went wrong.
Season | Goals | Assists | Expected Goals | Shooting Percentage | High Danger xGoals |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
2024-25 | 28 | 66 | 26.3 | 12% | 11.25 |
2025-26 | 27 | 63 | 25.3 | 10.4% | 9.71 |
On the surface, the points have gone down slightly. The goals took a modest dip of one, while the assists fell by three. But the other stats tell a different story. Eichel's high danger xGoals dropped by nearly two points, while his shooting percentage dropped by nearly two percentage points.
That's not even mentioning how the Olympic gold medalist only had one power play goal last season. He struggled to gain any goal-scoring traction on an analytical standpoint, which eventually bled over into the Stanley Cup playoffs. That also cost the Golden Knights a Stanley Cup, leaving fans disappointed.
Predicting Jack Eichel's stat total with the Vegas Golden Knights in 2026-27
Remember the bold prediction that Jack Eichel was going to be the first 100-point player in Golden Knights history? The franchise face is expected to be the man who eventually accomplishes the feat in the team's history, adding more lore to his glorious NHL career.
Well, why don't we go bold for this one and give Eichel the properly exaggerated prediction? Let's say that Eichel rebounds in a big way and scores 33 goals and 70 assists in 2026-27. His career-high in goals with the Golden Knights might be 31 (2023-24). But the superstar center is bound to break through in a big way.
Why? Somebody needs to shoot the puck and what better person to do that than Vegas's leading shooter from last season (260 shots on goal)? With Dorofeyev gone, that opens the door for the franchise's star player to fire away at the net. By the way, that total adds up to 103.
