Second-generation hockey player (his father was Defenseman Paul Reinhart), Sam Reinhart had quality seasons in Buffalo, where he scored at least 20 Goals five times. Still, when he was traded to Florida, he took his career (and his new team) to the next level.
Reinhart broke 30 Goals in each of his first two seasons, and last year he became the prime sniper for Florida, where he led the NHL in Power Play Goals (27), was accurate as he league’s leader in Shooting Percentage, and was second overall in Goals (57). Florida won their first Stanley Cup, and Reinhart was the man who had the game-winning goal in Game 7.
After last year's breakout, Reinhart had another great year, finishing with 81 Points and a second-place finish behind his teammate, Aleksander Barkov, for the Frank J. Selke. He again had another phenomenal playoff, aiding the Panthers in their second straight Stanley Cup win, with Reinhart leading all skaters with 11 Even Strength Goals.
Who is to say that Reinhart and the Panthers can't do it all again?
