Reichel has soured 14 goals with 19 assists (33 points) in 33 AHL games this season. The Blackhawks' top prospect will get another shot with the NHL but it's likely to be short-term again. He will once again skate on the top line with Patrick Kane.
The Blackhawks have recalled Lukas Reichel from Rockford (AHL).
Reichel is the Blackhawks' top prospect and has forced his way back into the NHL after dominating the AHL through 33 games. The 19-year-old leads Rockford with 33 points (14G / 19A) and should suit up for his third career NHL game on Friday.
The Blackhawks sent Lukas Reichel to Rockford (AHL).
As expected, Reichel only got a couple of games with the Blackhawks and is headed back for the AHL. The 2020 first-round pick has scored 11 goals with nine assists (20 points) in 20 games with Rockford this season.
Reichel will make his NHL debut on Thursday.
Reichel was the No.17 overall pick in 2020 and is set to make his NHL debut on Thursday. Reichel will start his NHL career on the top line with Patrick Kane after posting 20 points (11G / 9A) in 20 AHL games. Reichel is only expected to play in two games before he heads back to the AHL to continue his development.
The Blackhawks have signed Lukas Reichel to a three-year, entry-level contract.
Reichel was selected No.17 overall in 2020 and made another splash in the DEL in 2021, finishing fifth on the team with 27 points (10G / 17A) in 38 games. That's a terrific showing for a 19-year-old, who also had five points (3G / 2A) in seven games while representing Germany at the World Juniors. Reichel has a chance to break into the NHL in the 2021-22 season.
