The Vancouver Canucks have acquired forward Lukas Reichel from the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for a 2027 fourth-round pick.

The fourth-round pick originally belonged to Chicago and was previously acquired by Vancouver on June 26, 2024.

“Lukas is an exciting young player and someone we feel can help improve our forward group,” said Canucks GM Patrik Allvin. “He is a talented playmaker who can create scoring opportunities with his offensive ability. We like the way he moves on the ice and his overall work ethic and feel our coaching staff can help him become a better and more consistent hockey player.”

Reichel, 23, has appeared in five games with Chicago this season, registering two goals and two assists for four points.

In 174 career NHL games, all with Chicago, he has accumulated 22 goals and 36 assists for 58 points and 32 penalty minutes.

A native of Nurnberg, Germany, Reichel was originally selected 17th overall by the Blackhawks in the 2020 NHL Draft.
