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.

Where he shoots from
Slot 45% · Mid-range 50% · Perimeter 5%(40 unblocked shots)
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 gives credit for everything a player does in a game. Goals (1.0) and assists (0.7 primary, 0.5 secondary) count most; shots, blocks, hits, takeaways, penalties drawn, faceoff wins, killing penalties, and holding down the other team's chances add to it. Only mistakes subtract: goals against at 5-on-5, giveaways, penalties taken, faceoff losses, and allowing more chances than an average player would. A player who is there to defend or kill penalties is not marked down for not scoring. Goalies are measured by goals saved above expected.
