In the last decade, ground-based high-resolution spectroscopy (HRS) has emerged as a powerful method to probe exoplanet atmospheres both in transit and thermal emission. With HRS science now maturing to reveal these planet's thermal, compositional, and dynamical structure in three dimensions, novel strategies will be key to extracting the maximal scientific output from these rich datasets. In this article, we investigate the potential of exploiting eclipses in order to retrieve spatial constraints on exoplanet dayside atmospheres with HRS, as has been successfully applied at lower spectral resolutions with space-based facilities. To attempt this, we obtained an observations of 8 eclipses (ingress and egress) of the ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-33b with SPIRou. We analysed these data with the publicly available ATMOSPHERIX pipeline, which we combined with the starry Python package to fit the eclipse mapping signal. Additionally, we performed injection-recovery tests on archival data to evaluate the detection limits that could be reached with further observations. From our data, we obtain the first tentative detection of CO from in-eclipse data alone, validating that ingresses and egresses may be stacked coherently to boost detection limits. In combination with longer phase-coverage dayside data, our eclipses marginally improve constraints on the planetary rotation velocity. Through injection recovery tests, we show that our results are scaling according to expectations for a synchronously rotating WASP-33b, implying that a further 15 eclipses with SPIRou would be required to measure the planet's rotation using this method. Finally, we present promising detection limits for this method on the population of hot-Jupiters with next generation telescopes, and highlight remaining challenges in data processing for short time series and/or slowly accelerating planets.
