The Buffalo Sabres have named Jack Eichel team captain, becoming the 28th captain in franchise history and the first player to wear the ‘C’ since Brian Gionta did from 2014 to 2017, as the team did not name a captain last season.
Eichel signed an eight-year, $80-million contract extension last season and has led Buffalo in points each of the last 2 years.
