Jack Eichel continues to make his case to be taken first overall in June's NHL draft.

The Boston University forward scored an impressive goal on Friday night, skating all the way from behind his own net to the opposite end and netting the game-winner to beat Maine in overtime.

Connor McDavid is still the favorite to go first overall despite suffering a broken hand, but Eichel is keeping himself in the conversation with plays like these.

Eichel has 17 points in nine games for the Terriers this season.
