Lukas Reichel got the monkey off his back on Thursday, scoring his first goal of the season at home against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
What's more, he did it during a Blackhawks' power play, where he played as a bumper --- his first game at the position. Check out his redirect beauty into the top-left corner of the net.

Reichel's goal came off a powerplay that Philipp Kurashev earned for being hit illegally and nearly head-first into the boards. Connor Bedard, who is usually a pacifist on the ice, was the first to come to the rescue of Kurashev.
Reichel now has three points on the season on account of his goal and the two prior assists he notched. He's gone through a couple of changes, including his insertion to the bumper spot. The Hawks also moved him to wing at one point this season, too.
