Everyone wants to be rewarded for a job well done, to know that their efforts are recognized. Lately, Sam Reinhart has felt the love.
In the six games since scoring a game-winning goal in Florida, Reinhart has seen a boost in playing time and responsibilities. Sabres coach Dan Bylsma has bumped up the rookie’s minutes and moved him to Jack Eichel’s wing.
It’s done wonders for the 20-year-old’s confidence heading into Friday’s home game against Carolina.
“I’ve felt when I’ve been playing my best I’ve been getting rewarded, so it’s nice to know that the little things are getting recognized,” Reinhart said in First Niagara Center.
