Jack Eichel Misses out on $2 Million Bonus by Just 0.01 Points Per Game

This has got to hurt. 

Buffalo Sabres player Jack Eichel was thisclose to securing a multimillion dollar bonus for the season. 

Eichel was positioned to earn an extra $2 million if he finished the season in the NHL's top 10 in points per game, according to CapFriendly (h/t SB Nation's Pat Iversen). 

However, he came up just shy of the 0.94 points per game he needed to secure his top-10 spot. His 0.93 mark put him at No. 11 behind Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl. 

Ouch.
