The newest Vancouver Canuck is jumping right into the action.

Forward Lukas Reichel will be in the lineup when the Canucks host the Montreal Canadiens on Hockey Night in Canada Saturday. (7 p.m. ET/ 4 p.m. PT on CBC and Sportsnet+).

Reichel, 23, was acquired from the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday for a 2027 fourth-round pick. The six-foot left winger was a first-round pick in 2020 but was looking for a change of scenery.

He has four points in five games this season and had a career-high 22 points last year.

Head coach Adam Foote told reporters that Reichel will begin his Canucks career at centre between Evander Kane and Brock Boeser.
