The Blackhawks announced some roster moves Sunday morning ahead of traveling to Seattle to face the Kraken for Monday night’s game.
Top forward prospect Lukas Reichel was reassigned to the Rockford IceHogs:
Lukas Reichel has been sent back to Rockford.
He averaged 15:23 ice time in his 2 NHL games. No points, 5 shots on goal on 7 shot attempts. 5/14 on faceoffs. I thought he looked as good as promised for his first taste of the NHL.— Ben Pope (@BenPopeCST) January 16, 2022The move was expected: coach Derek King stated last week that Reichel was expected to only play a few games with the Blackhawks before returning to the AHL to continue his development.
