Eichel puts on show in clash with McDavid

There was a significant lack of hype leading up to Jack Eichel and Connor McDavid's most recent matchup, but one thing was clear: Eichel came out the big winner.

Eichel picked up a goal and three assists in the Buffalo Sabres' 5-0 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night, and was clearly the game's most dominant player. McDavid, on the other hand, was quiet, recording just three shots on goal.

While nobody would argue that McDavid has accomplished more in their respective careers thus far, Eichel clearly has the upper hand whenever the two meet head-to-head:

Unfortunately, the hockey world will have to wait until next season for another meeting between the 2015 draft's top two selections. If both teams are competitive by then, it would only increase the rivalry's intensity.
