Chicago Blackhawks
2024 Fantasy Outlook
While Reichel was able to log a career-best 65 NHL games this past season, he only increased his point total by one (16) when compared to the previous campaign. The additions of Tyler Bertuzzi and Teuvo Teravainen could bolster Chicago's attacking options but likely will serve to remove Reichel from being a power-play option. If he can play a full 82-game season, the 22-year-old German could push for the 20-point threshold but is unlikely to significantly increase his offensive output moving forward. Read Past Outlooks

Earns two points in win
RWChicago Blackhawks
March 1, 2025
Reichel scored a goal, dished a power-play assist and blocked two shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Ducks.
ANALYSIS
Reichel returned to the lineup after a two-game stint as a healthy scratch to fill in for Philipp Kurashev (hand). Reichel snapped his four-game point drought with a primary helper on Patrick Maroon's second-period goal before scoring the game-winner in the third. The 22-year-old Reichel is up 57 shots on net and a career-high 18 points (six goals, 12 assists) through 51 appearances this season. It's not the long-awaited breakout many have expected from the 2020 first-rounder, but it is progress after he needed 65 games to earn 16 points a year ago. His tally Saturday was also his first career game-winner.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Blackhawks fans will understandably be fixated on everything Connor Bedard does this season, but he's not the only high-end prospect Chicago fans have to root for. While Reichel isn't projected to be a generational talent like Bedard, he has the potential to develop into a great top-six forward and should make significant strides this season. Reichel already impressed in 2022-23, scoring 20 goals and 51 points in 55 AHL contests, along with seven goals and 15 points in 23 outings with Chicago. It will be interesting to see if Chicago experiments with playing Reichel and Bedard together, but even if the young duo is kept separate, Reichel is a serious breakout candidate with the potential to breach the 20-goal and 50-point milestones in his first full NHL campaign.
Virtually nothing went right for the Blackhawks at the NHL level a season ago, but Reichel's performance in his first North American campaign was exceptional. Playing the entire year at age 19, Reichel averaged more than a point-per-game (21 goals, 57 points in 56 games) for AHL Rockford. He also managed just one assist in an 11-game stint with Chicago. Reichel should be a regular for the team this coming season given the club's scorched-earth rebuild, but the real fantasy production may be a couple years away.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Will participate in AHL playoffs
RWChicago Blackhawks
April 18, 2024
Reichel will join Rockford for the AHL postseason instead of playing for Germany in the IIHF World Championship in May, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Reichel has four goals and 15 points in 64 contests with the Blackhawks this campaign. He has also contributed a goal and seven points in nine outings with Rockford. Although the 21-year-old didn't make major offensive contributions at the top level in 2023-24, he does have plenty of offensive upside -- maybe he'll start tapping into it in 2024-25.
