Sabres' Jack Eichel: Recovery progressing nicely

Eichel's (ankle) recovery is "progressing quite nicely," and he is seeing a doctor Wednesday to determine the next steps in his rehab, Joe Yerdon of NHL.com reports.

Analysis:

It's been four weeks since Eichel sustained his high-ankle sprain, and it appears his rehab is right on schedule. While the No. 2 overall pick in the 2015 draft has yet to return to the ice, he has reportedly been "working out at another level the last four or five days" and is likely to continue to ramp up his workload going forward.
