‘In the final 44 games of last season, Reinhart was back around the net doing what he does best. He was making smart little plays using great vision. That had all gone away for a long period of time. He had become a turnover machine, which isn’t his game. When he’s playing well, he might be Buffalo’s smartest player. Reinhart said when the calendar turned 2018, he took a look at himself, “I took a step back and I said to myself, I’m playing my game. I think it’s more important for me to play my game and it’s more beneficial for the team and me to play my game and however that fits into the team. I don’t want to say that I said, ‘Just screw it’, but I think it was important for me to get back to doing what I did best in the past.’
