Sam Reinhart News

Reinhart absolutely exploded in his contract year, scoring 57 goals, 24 more than his previous career high. He also added 37 assists, to give him 94 points, 12 more than his previous career high. Reinhart was also very strong during the Panthers run to the Stanley Cup, posting 16 points (10G / 6A) in 24 games and scored the Stanley Cup winning goal. Look for him to remain on a line with Aleksander Barkov for the foreseeable future.

Reinhart missed the last three games while in COVID-19 protocol but will play on the top line on Tuesday. Reinhart was red-hot prior to landing in protocol, posting 14 points (5G / 9A) in his last 11 games.

Reinhart is an RFA, so he'll need a new deal with the Panthers but is a huge addition to their top-6 for 2021-22. Reinhart has scored 20-plus goals in four straight seasons, averaging 27 goals and 32 assists (59 points) per 82 games over that span. Whether it's with Aleksander Barkov or Sam Bennett, Reinhart should receive a big fantasy boost by moving from Buffalo to Florida.

Reinhart was missing from the Sabres' morning skate due to a minor injury and is listed as a game-time decision vs. the Islanders. Rasmus Asplund skated in Reinhart's spot, so look for him to play if he's out.

Reinhart remains day-to-day with an upper-body injury and will miss his second straight game on Sunday. With Reinhart out, Tage Thompson and Jeff Skinner took turns with Jack Eichel and Victor Olofsson.

Reinhart was missing from Friday's practice after suffering an upper-body injury on Thursday. With Reinhart out, Tage Thompson skated on the top line yesterday, so look for that to be the case vs. the Devils. Reinhart is listed as day-to-day.

Reinhart missed Friday's practice and head coach Ralph Krueger said that they will make the call on his status on Saturday morning. If Reinhart doesn't play, it seems likely that Tage Thompson will suit up on the first line with Jack Eichel and Victor Olofsson.

In 2020, Reinhart was on-pace to set a new career-high in goals but when the season was paused he had 22 goals and 28 assists (50 points) in 69 games. Reinhart has not missed a game in three seasons, averaging 24 goals and 34 assists (58 points) per 82 games. With the addition of Taylor Hall, Reinhart could be pushed from the top-line in 2021 but should still finish with 20-plus goals and 30-plus assists.

Reinhart missed Monday’s practice but was back on the ice for Tuesday’s morning skate and is officially listed as a game-time decision. Reinhart has been red-hot since mid-November, picking up 27 points (7G / 20A) in his last 22 games.

Reinhart set new career-highs in goals (25) and points (50) during the 2017-18 season. The former No.2 overall pick (2014) is expected to land a top-6 role and players with either Jack Eichel or Casey Mittelstadt in a new-look Sabres’ lineup. Reinhart has 60-point upside as he enters his fourth full season.

Reinhart is coming off of the best season of his career, posting 50 points (25G / 25A) in 82 games. He has increased his point totals in each of first three seasons in the NHL and is poised to do that again in 2018-19. The Sabres beefed up Reinhart’s surrounding cast and he projects to be a top-6 winger with either Jack Eichel or Casey Mittelstadt.

Reinhart missed the last three games with an upper-body injury, but will be back on the Sabres’ top line on Wednesday. Reinhart has picked up 20 points (12G / 8A) in 47 games this season.

Reinhart suffered an upper-body injury on Wednesday and will miss at least one week as a result. With Reinhart out, the Sabres have recalled Cal O’Reilly and Matt Moulson is expected to play on the top line.
