The NHL is planning two outdoor games at Lake Tahoe, plus the latest on Jack Eichel, Kasperi Kapanen, Andrew Shaw and more in today’s morning coffee headlines. SPORTSNET: Elliotte Friedman reports the NHL is planning to stage two outdoor games at Edgewood Tahoe Resort at Lake Tahoe, Nevada during the upcoming season. The first would see the Colorado Avalanche face off against the Vegas Golden Knights on Feb. 20, followed the next day by the Philadelphia Flyers facing the Boston Bruins.
Buffalo Sabres captain Jack Eichel is listed as day-to-day (NHL Images).
Having not seen any meaningful ice time with his teammates in nearly 10 months, the Sabres captain can’t afford to miss too much training-camp time.
The 24-year-old winger was acquired by the Penguins last August in a trade with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
He worked with Filip Hronek as his defense partner and also skated with the Wings’ top power-play unit.
The rebuilding Wings will need him as they attempt to take a big leap forward in their overall development this season.
