Sabres' Jack Eichel: Participates in team practice

Eichel skated with the team Wednesday for the first time since injuring his ankle.

Analysis:

There's still no date set for Eichel's return, but he's certainly getting closer. The second-year pro came into the season with high expectations, but suffered a high-ankle sprain in October that has already forced him to miss 19 games. Upon his return, he'll slot back into his usual spot as the No. 2 center with Sam Reinhart on his right wing.
