• Canucks' Lukas Reichel: Placed on waivers Saturday

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  Reichel was placed on waivers Saturday and has been given non-roster waiver status. It appears that Reichel and the Canucks are about to part company. Reichel has only one assist in 14 games since he was acquired from Chicago on Oct. 24. The Canucks have attempted to deal him, but to no avail.

• Canucks' Lukas Reichel: First point with new team

  11/09/2025 • By RotoWire

  Reichel notched an assist and two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Blue Jackets. The helper was Reichel's first point in eight games since he was acquired from the Blackhawks. He had four points over five outings prior to the trade. While Reichel hasn't done much on offense for the Canucks, he has bolstered the team's center depth, though he's been at or above 50 percent on faceoffs in just three of his eight contests with his new club. Once Filip Chytil (upper body) and Teddy Blueger (undisclosed) are healthy, Reichel will likely find himself back on the wing in a middle-six role.

• Canucks' Lukas Reichel: Swapped for pick

  10/24/2025 • By RotoWire

  Reichel was acquired by Vancouver from Chicago on Friday in exchange for a 2027 fourth-round draft pick. Reichel hasn't developed as Chicago hoped after the Blackhawks took him with the No. 17 overall pick in the 2020 NHL draft. He recorded just 16 points in 65 outings and 22 points in 70 appearances in the 2023-24 and 2024-25 regular seasons, respectively. The 23-year-old Reichel does have two goals and four points in five appearances this year, but that's largely due to a three-point showing against St. Louis on Oct. 15, and he's followed that up with an assist across his past three outings. Reichel will probably start his Vancouver tenure in a bottom-six role, but the change of scenery will help gradually unlock some of his offensive potential.

• Blackhawks' Lukas Reichel: First two-goal game of career

  10/16/2025 • By RotoWire

  Reichel scored twice on five shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 8-3 win over the Blues. Reichel had goals in the first and second periods, and he set up Ryan Greene's first career goal in the third. The 23-year-old Reichel had been a scratch for three of the first four games of the season, and he's still limited to a fourth-line role when he plays. This performance should be enough to give him a longer look in the lineup, especially while Nick Foligno (personal) is away from the team. Reichel will still need to show more consistency on offense to work his way into the fantasy conversation.

• Blackhawks' Lukas Reichel: Healthy for training camp

  09/18/2025 • By RotoWire

  Reichel (undisclosed) participated in Thursday's scrimmage to begin training camp, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio reports. Reichel sustained an undisclosed injury during the 2025 IIHF World Championship over the summer, but he appears to have moved past the issue ahead of the 2025-26 regular season. He made a career-high 70 regular-season appearances for Chicago last year and recorded eight goals, 14 assists, 29 blocked shots, 24 hits and 12 PIM while averaging 11:55 of ice time.
