Scores in win Saturday Reichel scored a goal in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Golden Knights.

Impact Reichel has struggled to produce points at a consistent rate this season, but he's done it in two of his last three outings, so he might be aiming to turn things around with the All-Star break right around the corner. That said, Reichel has notched just five points (two goals, three assists) across his last 20 games, so he's not expected to be a reliable fantasy option in most formats, especially considering his bottom-six role.

Garners assist Monday Reichel registered an assist and two PIM in Monday's 5-2 loss to Calgary.

Impact Reichel's spot in the lineup has been at risk in January -- this was just his third appearance over six games this month. He was on a line with Frank Nazar and Colton Dach, which could be a good unit for Chicago to keep together, though they're all young players who could benefit from shifts with a veteran at times. Reichel is now at 12 points, 44 shots on net and a minus-6 rating through 37 appearances this season, mainly in a bottom-six role, though he has retained a spot on the second power-play unit.

Slings helper Reichel notched an assist in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Wild.

Impact Reichel set up a Jason Dickinson tally late in the third period. The helper ended Reichel's nine-game point drought, during which he went minus-5 with just three shots on net. A fourth-line role won't help him get his scoring on track, though he's had a little success there at times. For the season, the 22-year-old has 10 points, 39 shots on net and a minus-5 rating through 31 appearances, a pace that would at least give him career highs in games played and points.

Pots lone goal in loss Reichel scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Impact Reichel continues to play as the fourth-line center, though a power-play role has allowed him to carve out a little more ice time. He has three points and 12 shots on net over his last five contests. For the season, the 22-year-old forward is at three goals, six helpers, 36 shots on net, 12 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 21 appearances.

Collects two points Saturday Reichel notched a goal and an assist in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to Philadelphia.

Impact Reichel's second multi-point performance of 2024-25 gave the Blackhawks a 2-0 lead going into the third period. However, the Flyers scored three straight goals afterward to claim the victory. Reichel also had a team-high five shots on net in Saturday's defeat. He has two goals and eight points through 17 outings this season.

Generates power-play helper Reichel notched a power-play assist and two PIM in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.

Impact 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.

Finds twine in win Reichel scored a goal in Monday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.

Impact 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.

Manages helper in loss Reichel logged an assist in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Predators.

Impact 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.

Dishes two assists Reichel notched two assists and four shots on goal in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Sabres.

Impact The 22-year-old winger set up both of Craig Smith's tallies in this contest. Reichel was scratched for the first four games of the year and has been stuck on the fourth line for the last two contests. While it's good that he's playing, 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 contests a year ago, though that mostly came from seeing middle-six minutes.

Signs two-year extension Reichel signed a two-year, $2.4 million contract extension with the Blackhawks on Tuesday.

Impact Reichel hasn't really lived up to expectations since being selected 17th overal 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. Reichel will likely be a full-time NHLer in 2024-25, but if he doesn't get his game together at the top level soon, he may not last with the Blackhawks beyond this two-year extension.

Buries goal Thursday Reichel scored a goal in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings.

Impact 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.

Impact Reichel has four points over his last seven contests while seeing middle-six minutes in that span. The 21-year-old winger is up to 15 points through 63 outings, matching his output from 23 games a year ago. Needless to say, Reichel has not taken the expected next step in 2023-24. He's added 82 shots on net, a minus-30 rating, 25 hits and 25 blocked shots.
