The Buffalo Sabres re-introduced their 2014 first-round pick back into the lineup Wednesday against the Anaheim Ducks, but he'll be sitting once again on Thursday.
Sam Reinhart played in five games without any points, after which he was a healthy scratch for a game, and following Wednesday's game, he's now pointless in six NHL games.
John Vogl of the Buffalo News reports:
Nikita Zadorov will make season debut tonight as Sabres will go with seven defensemen. Sam Reinhart will sit.
