Jack Eichel recently suffered a high ankle sprain and may miss the next couple of months while he recovers. The injury prevented him from suiting up for the Sabres in their home opener, but he still entered in style.
Eichel rode up to the boards on a … scooter.

Not just any scooter. That’s a scooter with a Sabres logo on the front.

The scooter is helping Eichel keep the weight off of his injured ankle, but it’s still hilarious even though it does serve a medical purpose.
