Jack Eichel is a Stanley Cup champion with the Vegas Golden Knights less than two years removed from undergoing neck surgery that no NHL player had previously come back from. Eichel led all playoff scorers with 26 points and set up three goals in Vegas’ Cup-clinching victory. He was the Golden Knights’ best all around player throughout their playoff run.
