Sam Reinhart Trending Up Despite Snapped Streak
6 years agoBuffalo Sabres forward Sam Reinhart failed to score a point in Friday night's shootout win against the Jets, snapping his three-game point streak. The bigger takeaway is that Reinhart has reclaimed his spot on Buffalo's top line alongside Jack Eichel and Jeff Skinner and saw over 20 minutes of ice time for only the fifth time this season. Reinhart has 13 points in 19 games, but only two goals and a career-low 5.4 shooting percentage to show for it. Typically Reinhart has been a lock for roughly 20 goals each year throughout his young career, and there is plenty of reason to believe he can recapture that scoring touch now that he is getting premium usage.
