Reichel wanted more ice time and chances to shoot, but his recent stats aren't great. He's had only three shots in his last eight games, with just one on goal.
This season, Reichel hasn't performed as well as last season, when he showed promise with 7 goals and 8 assists in 23 games before going to Rockford. In the AHL, he did better with 51 points, including 20 goals and 31 assists in 55 games.
