• Blackhawks' Lukas Reichel: Generates power-play helper

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  Reichel notched a power-play assist and two PIM in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Ducks. Reichel has a helper in consecutive contests after assisting on a Seth Jones tally in the second period. The 22-year-old Reichel continues to see limited minutes at even strength, but he's playing on the power play to give him a little more scoring potential. He now has a goal, five assists, 16 shots on net and a plus-2 rating over nine appearances.

  Reichel scored a goal in Monday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche. The goal was Reichel's first of the season. The 22-year-old was back in a fourth-line role Monday after threatening to move up over the weekend, though he also remains in the power-play mix. Despite limited minutes, he's done fairly well so far, earning four points, 11 shots on net, three hits, four blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over six contests since he entered the lineup Oct. 17.

• Blackhawks' Lukas Reichel: Manages helper in loss

  Reichel logged an assist in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Predators. Reichel set up Craig Smith's goal early in the first period, as those two forwards continue to click in limited roles. The 22-year-old Reichel has three assists, nine shots on net, three blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over four appearances this season. If he continues to play well, he could move up the lineup, though anything less than a top-line role will lead to too little offense to be helpful in fantasy.

• Blackhawks' Lukas Reichel: Dishes two assists

  21D ago • By RotoWire

  Reichel notched two assists and four shots on goal in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Sabres. The 22-year-old winger set up a pair of goals by Craig Smith in Saturday's contest. Reichel was scratched for four straight games to start the year and has played on the fourth line for the last two contests. While it's good that he's playing, seeing limited ice time in the NHL on a rebuilding team isn't necessarily a positive for a player that would likely benefit from more development in the AHL. He had just 16 points in 65 regular-season contests in 2023-24, though that mostly came from seeing middle-six minutes.

• Blackhawks' Lukas Reichel: Buries goal Thursday

  04/19/2024 • By RotoWire

  Reichel scored a goal in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings. Reichel showed some life late in the season with two goals and three assists over the last nine contests. His tally Thursday opened the scoring. He wraps up with 16 points, 84 shots on net and a minus-29 rating over 65 appearances, mainly in a middle-six role. At 21 years old, there's still time for Reichel to get his scoring touch on track at the NHL level, and he'll have every chance to make the Blackhawks' roster out of training camp in the fall.
