Overview
- Boston announced the one-year, $950,000 extension Thursday, and Reichel will remain a restricted free agent after 2026-27.
- The Bruins acquired the 23-year-old from Vancouver on March 6 for a 2026 sixth-round draft pick.
- He played 29 NHL games this season across Chicago, Vancouver, and Boston with three goals and five assists, plus one playoff game for the Bruins.
- Reichel is set to play for Germany at the IIHF World Championship in Zurich and Fribourg, with games starting Friday.
- The deal leaves Boston with just over $15 million in cap space for free agency, a low-cost look at a former 17th-overall pick.
