xGF% is his team's share of 5v5 expected goals while he was on the ice, from our own expected goals model; HDCF% counts only high-danger chances (xG of 0.15 or more). IPP is the share of his team's 5v5 goals while he was on the ice that he scored or assisted on. Relative stats compare him with his team when he was off the ice. Goals above expected and ixG/60 use his own shots at all strengths. PDO and OZS% describe luck and deployment, so their bars are grey.

Play styleSpeedy depth winger

Trait percentiles vs. NHL wingers · 2025-26

Reichel is an exceptionally fast skater who attacks with pace, but he rarely generates quality chances and struggles to maintain possession or create for teammates. His underlying metrics are poor despite his speed advantage.

Strengths

Elite speed at 77th percentile keeps him dangerous on transitions
Pure shot location shows 45% from dangerous slot area when he does get looks

Watch-outs

Shooting volume near rock bottom at 8th percentile limits offensive impact
Zone entries via rush chances at 7th percentile, not converting his speed into offensive entries
Puck management at 28th percentile, struggling to maintain possession for his teammates

Similar style: J.T. Compher (DET), Anthony Duclair (NYI)

Built from play-by-play, shift data, and NHL EDGE tracking. Zone entries is an estimate (rush chances while he is on the ice) until tracking data is added.

Game Score adds up a player's impact in goals compared with an average player given the same ice time: his share of expected goals for and against at even strength, on the power play, and on the penalty kill, plus finishing (goals minus expected goals), primary assists, penalties drawn and taken, and faceoffs. Goalies are measured by goals saved above expected.
