Analysis:

Reinhart will play against the Capitals in his much anticipated debut. The second overall pick from the 2014 NHL Draft is a strong two-way forward who is vying for a roster spot. It is still too early to tell if Reinhart will play for the Sabres for the entire season, but a good performance in the Sabres' first preseason game would help his case.
