Canucks' Lukas Reichel: First point with new team
Lukas 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 Vancouver 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
Lukas 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
Lukas 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: Suffers injury at Worlds
Lukas Reichel, who was playing for Germany in the 2025 IIHF World Championship, will miss the remainder of the tournament due to an undisclosed injury, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports Wednesday.Reichel had an impressive four points (one goal) in three outings before being forced to exit the tournament. His injury isn't believed to be too serious, so the 22-year-old will probably be fine for the start of Chicago's training camp. He finished the 2024-25 campaign with eight goals and 22 points across 70 outings, but he does have offensive upside, as his brief stint at Worlds demonstrated.

Blackhawks' Lukas Reichel: Posts helper in loss
Lukas Reichel notched an assist in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Kraken.Reichel ended his six-game point drought by assisting on a Tyler Bertuzzi tally in the first period. The 22-year-old Reichel remains in a fourth-line role, and while he saw 14:48 of ice time Tuesday, that hasn't been the norm lately. He reached the 20-point mark for the first time with the helper, and he's added 61 shots on net, 25 blocked shots, 23 hits and a minus-9 rating over 59 appearances. Reichel is looking less like a future fantasy star and more like a bottom-six regular who can chip in depth scoring and take power-play time.

His tally Saturday was also his first career game-winner.
