Eichel only needs 2 1/2 periods to score his first NHL goal!

Well the race is on. Yeah Eichel and McDavid are currently playing their first game, but Jack Eichel already scored his first career goal.

Buffalo had not been playing all that well but Eichel showed how talented he is by ripping a shot over the glove of Ottawa Senators Craig Anderson. It got the Sabres going who went onto to score the tying goal but it was taken away after a coaches challenge that the play was offside.

It is definitely going to be an exciting season watching Eichel and McDavid. The two biggest threats to win the Calder are already making waves.
