The team is sending Lukas Reichel to Rockford, as reported by the AHL transaction log. Reichel, who excelled on the top line for the Blackhawks last year, has seen a decline in performance this season.
Some speculate that his role as the #1 center has been overshadowed by the emergence of Connor Bedard on the team. However, regardless of the reasons, this demotion could prove beneficial for Reichel's development.
