The IceHogs haven’t been particularly impressive this season, but both Lukas Reichel and Josiah Slavin have been the clear standouts so far.
Lukas Reichel, Chicago’s 2020 first-round pick, has stayed around a point-per-game pace all season while showing strong ability with and without the puck. Despite being drafted as a winger, Reichel spent a majority of time at center with Eisbären Berlin last season and the Blackhawks have decided to keep developing him in that role. He currently has nine points (6 G, 3 A) in 10 games and has spent time on both special teams.
