BLOG: Reichel Named to Germany Roster for Remainder of World Championship

For the second straight year, Lukas Reichel is headed to the IIHF World Championship. The Blackhawks forward will join Germany for the remainder of the tournament, the team announced on Wednesday.
In 56 games with the Rockford IceHogs this season, Reichel led the club in points (57), goals (21) and assists (36), earning Rookie of the Year honors with the club. He also scored two goals in five Calder Cup Playoff games. Reichel also skated in 11 NHL contests across three stints with the Blackhawks, registering one assist.
The 2020 first-round draft pick played nine games for Germany last May at Worlds, finishing third on the team in scoring with six points (2G, 4A) in nine games. The Germans appeared in the bronze medal game, but fell to the U.S.
