Sabres' Jack Eichel: Resumes skating Thursday

Eichel (ankle) skated on his own Thursday, but is still at least several weeks away from returning to game action, Amy Moritz of The Buffalo News reports.

Analysis:

Eichel's presence on the ice Thursday is undoubtedly an encouraging indication of the progress he's made in his recovery from a high ankle sprain, but the talented young forward still likely won't return to the Sabres' lineup until late November at the earliest. The next logical step in the American center's rehabilitation will be a return to practice with his teammates, so Eichel's owners can expect another update on his status once that happens.
