Golden Knights' Jack Eichel: Undergoes lower-body surgery

Eichel had surgery Tuesday to address his lower-body injury and will be week-to-week.

While the Knights didn't provide any specifics regarding the nature of Eichel's injury, he probably should be expected to be unavailable until early February, in part because Vegas has a light upcoming schedule between the All-Star break and the Vegas bye week, which runs Jan. 28-Feb 5. That would mark only six more missed games, though everything is speculative at this point given the lack of information from the team. For now, Chandler Stephenson figures to fill the first-line center role.
