BUFFALO, N.Y. — Buffalo Sabres captain Jack Eichel will represent the Sabres at the NHL's All Star festivities the weekend of January 24 and 25 in St. Louis.
It's the third straight season Eichel has been named an All Star.
In his second year as Sabres captain Eichel is having the best year of his career. Eichel leads the Sabres with 24 goals, 28 assists and 52 points.
Eichel's career high in goals is 28. He had a personal point streak that last 18 games. That tied the franchise record set by Gilbert Perreault during the 1971-72 season.
There's a chance second year defenseman Rasmus Dahlin could join Eichel for the All Star weekend. Dahlin is on NHL All-Star Last Men In fan vote ballot.
Voting for the Last Men In opens Wednesday at noon and closes Friday, Jan. 10, at 11:59 p.m.
