Canadiens' First-Round Pick Is Heating Up In The AHL

David Reinbacher is a prospect who the Montreal Canadiens are hoping will become a big part of their roster in the future. 

After all, Reinbacher was selected fifth-overall by the Canadiens in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft and is viewed as having good upside. Thus, he is undoubtedly a prospect to keep an eye on as this season rolls on. 

Reinbacher is currently off to a solid start to the 2026-27 season with the Laval Rocket. In 13 games so far with Laval this campaign, he has posted three goals, four assists, seven points, and a plus-8 rating. With this, the 6-foot-3 defenseman is showing promise early on this season.

However, what's more encouraging is that Reinbacher is starting to heat up offensively for Laval as the season rolls on. Over his last five games, Reinbacher has recorded two goals and four points. With this, the Canadiens' first-round pick is making an impact offensively for Laval right now. 

Reinbacher will now be looking to continue to produce offense while also playing well defensively for Laval. If he does, it could very well lead to him getting another chance on the Canadiens' roster in the near future.
