This former Sabres star scored an awesome goal against the Oilers.
Former Buffalo Sabres forward Sam Reinhart is having an outstanding season with the Florida Panthers. In 32 games, the 29-year-old has 20 goals, 41 points, and a plus-10 rating. This is after he had 57 goals and 94 points last season.
Reinhart is not showing any signs of slowing down, either. In the Panthers' latest contest against the Edmonton Oilers on Dec. 16, he scored an absolutely incredible goal and added an assist.
Everything about Reinhart's goal was excellent. He first tipped a Leon Draisaitl pass out of the Panthers' zone to kill the Oilers' scoring chance. From there, he won a puck battle with Oilers defender Mattias Ekholm before scoring from behind the goal line.
Reinhart is known for being a skilled player in all areas of the game, and he showed that off perfectly with this amazing goalie. It is fair to say that he is a former Sabre who the club misses right now.
