The National Hockey League announced today, January 4, rosters for the 2024 NHL All-Star Weekend, held in Toronto, Ontario. Golden Knights forward Jack Eichel was named to the roster for the Pacific Division as part of the official announcement on Thursday.
It is the fourth time in his career that Eichel has been selected as an All-Star and the first time with Vegas. The 27-year-old currently leads the Golden Knights in scoring with 40 points and in shots on goal with 158 after playing in each of the team’s 38 games this season. Eichel’s 16 goals and 24 assists rank second on Vegas, trailing only Jonathan Marchessault and Mark Stone. Eichel leads the NHL with 46 takeaways during the 2023-24 campaign, just one short of tying his career-high he set last season. The forward’s shorthanded time on ice of 76:04 this season is the highest total in his nine-year NHL career.
Eichel, a native of North Chelmsford, Massachusetts, etched his name on the Stanley Cup for the first time after finishing the 2023 postseason as the NHL’s scoring leader with 26 points in 22 games. Eichel was acquired by the Golden Knights from the Buffalo Sabres on November 4, 2021, and his 131 points since making his debut with Vegas are the most on the club.
The 2024 NHL All-Star Weekend will be hosted by the Toronto Maple Leafs at Scotiabank Arena Feb. 1-3. The three-day celebration will include NHL All-Star Thursday on, February 1, NHL All-Star Skills on Friday, February 2, and the NHL® All-Star Game on Saturday, February 3.
