Bruins Sign F Lukas Reichel to 1-Year Extension

The 23-year-old forward carries a $950,000 cap hit after Boston added him at the trade deadline for his speed and depth.

  • On Thursday, the Boston Bruins signed restricted free agent forward Lukas Reichel to a one-year contract extension with an NHL cap hit of $950,000 through the 2026-27 season.
  • Acquired from the Vancouver Canucks in March for a 2026 sixth-round pick, the 23-year-old was originally selected 17th overall in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft by the Chicago Blackhawks.
  • During his 10-game stint with the Bruins, Reichel recorded one goal and three points while adding nine shots and five blocks.
  • Reichel will represent Germany at the World Championships in Switzerland beginning Friday, though he must clear waivers if he fails to make Boston's roster this fall.
  • With Reichel re-signed, Boston retains defenseman Jordan Harris as a restricted free agent while forwards Viktor Arvidsson and defenseman Andrew Peeke remain pending unrestricted free agents, as Team President Cam Neely seeks more "speed and talent.
