Eichel scores twice late to propel VGK to a 6-3 victory vs Canes

Jack Eichel had a rough start on his birthday being crosschecked, hit and turning the puck over on a botched play that led to a Hurricanes goal.  But the league's leading scorer took over the game in the final five minutes scoring twice to lead VGK to a 6-3 win at Carolina.  The Golden Knights went 2-0 vs the Canes this season.  Eichel also had an assist.  He has 19 points through 10 games,  Pavel Dorofeyev also had two goals.  Mitch Marner had two assists.  Did a Brett Howden goal ignite secondary scoring for VGK?  Fans should hope so.  He centered the fourth line Tuesday night and the fourth line finally played to its identity.  The fourth line contributed to 13 hits in the game.  Howden slotted in for an injured Colton Sissons.
