Reinhart will play center for the next few weeks, reports the Olean Times Herald.

Analysis:

Reinhart will move back to center after it was announced Ryan O'Reilly (lower body) will miss up to four weeks. Though strength has been a concern for Reinhart while playing center, he's a smart two-way player who knows where he has to be on the ice. This means that Reinhart and Jack Eichel will be the Sabres' top two centers; it's a very inexperienced duo, but an exciting prospect nonetheless as the Sabres continue their re-build. Reinhart will see a hike in ice time and should have more opportunities to score, but until he does so it's better off to leave him on the waiver wire for now.
