Jack Eichel posted three points (2+1), extending his career-best point streak to 11 games. He has 16 points (5+11) during that stretch.

His second point was the 100th of his career. At 20 years and 130 days, Eichel became the third-youngest player in Sabres history to reach this milestone, behind only Pierre Turgeon (19 years, 156 days) and Phil Housley (19 years, 276 days).

With his goal, Evander Kane tied Filip Forsberg for the second-most goals in the NHL since Dec. 1 (24).

As of the end of the game, Kane was tied for 22nd in the league in goals (24) despite not scoring his first until Dec. 3.
