Blackhawks send down Lukas Reichel, putting full-time NHL role on hold

Reichel’s AHL assignment comes as Patrick Kane prepares to return from injury. The move aligns with the Hawks’ general development philosophy for Reichel over the past two seasons but contrasts with a quote from coach Luke Richardson on Sunday.

Blackhawks’ drought of no power-play goals by defensemen lives into 2023
