Jack Eichel came to Las Vegas in 2021 with lofty expectations that he has mostly fulfilled, including helping lead the Golden Knights to the Stanley Cup championship two seasons ago. Now he has taken his game to an even higher level.

Barbashev (upper body) was activated off injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL media site. Barbashev missed 10 straight games from Dec. 19-Jan. 9 because of the injury, but he should return to the lineup Saturday versus the Rangers.

The Golden Knights could have leading goal scorer Ivan Barbashev back in the lineup Saturday against the New York Rangers after he missed the past 10 games.

The Vegas Golden Knights are going toe-to-toe against the New York Rangers for the first time this season on Saturday at 7 p.m. at T-Mobile Arena.
