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.

Blackhawks' Lukas Reichel: Supplies assist in loss
Rotowire
Reichel notched an assist in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Jets.
Reichel snapped a six-game point drought with the helper. Considering the Blackhawks' offense has been poor at best lately, extended point droughts for the team's depth players can be expected. The 21-year-old winger has not enjoyed the 2023-24 campaign much with nine points, 58 shots on net and a minus-24 rating through 41 appearances. His spot in the lineup is safe with all the injuries to Chicago forwards, but he's best left off fantasy rosters in redraft formats, while his appeal in keeper leagues is starting to wane.

Rotowire
Reichel tallied a power-play goal in Thursday's 4-2 loss to Tampa Bay.

The 21-year-old Reichel now has a goal and an assist in his last two games after opening the year with just one point (an assist) in his first 12 games.

Rotowire
Reichel has recorded one point, 23 shots and six blocks in 11 games this season.
Reichel has been getting opportunities with the man advantage, logging 1:50 of ice time per game on the power play, but he's continued to struggle to produce offensively.
