Anthony Beauvillier was unable to travel with the Blackhawks to Minnesota due to visa issues but played in Winnipeg, sparking Connor Bedard. Lukas Reichel was a healthy scratch for the Blackhawks in multiple games, with the team expressing disappointment in his performance. Connor Bedard's impact on the team's offense was evident, as they failed to score a single goal on the road trip without him. The Blackhawks made bold moves by sending Wyatt Kaiser to Rockford and healthy-scratching Reichel, signaling a pivotal moment for the young player.
Between sending Wyatt Kaiser to Rockford and healthy-scratching Lukas Reichel, the Blackhawks made two bold moves with important young players this weekend. I'm intrigued to see what comes from sending that kind of message to Reichel. Story: https://t.co/MzefAg3asQ
Lukas Reichel is a healthy scratch. The goaltending has regressed to the mean. Connor Bedard has hardly any help. And the Blackhawks suddenly look lifeless. How concerned should you be? @ByScottPowers and I break out the concern-o-meter: https://t.co/74fJUv5sT2
The Blackhawks didn't score a single goal on this road trip when Connor Bedard wasn't on the ice. That's the simple reality of their offense right now, but it's a depressing reality nonetheless. Postgame story from Minnesota: https://t.co/cB6iTbTWvD

Lukas Reichel will be a healthy scratch for the Blackhawks today. Richardson: “I’m sure he’s disappointed, but we need more from him… When there’s an opportunity like Beauvillier not being available, it should be him that has that opportunity, so we’re disappointed as well.”
