Analysis:

Reinhart was a healthy scratch over the weekend for the Sabres, but appears to have earned his way back to the fourth line after impressing coach Ted Nolan with his effort in practice. The rookie's continued hard work is admirable, but he'll need to translate it into tangible production in games if he hopes to avoid an assignment back to his junior club.
