Really, its a lot about patience and sticking to your game plan.He will wear the stabilizing boot for about 10 days and then have his ankle evaluated.Patience is important for this, he said.

So more than anything its how you handle it and how you return.Eichel was selected with the No. 2 pick in the 2015 draft. He is coming off a solid rookie season in which he had 24 goals and 32 assists in 81 games last year.
