Blackhawks' Lukas Reichel: Dishes two assists

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: Signs two-year extension
Lukas Reichel signed a two-year, $2.4 million contract extension with the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday.Reichel hasn't really lived up to expectations since being selected 17th overall in the 2020 Entry Draft -- he logged a career-high 65 games at the NHL level in 2023-24, but the 21-year-old forward managed just five goals and 16 points while posting an ugly minus-29 rating over that span.
