At the last practice camp, David Reinbacher was injured. As a result, for the second year running, he couldn’t start the season at the same time as everyone else.
The injury was said to be much less serious this year than last, but it was frustrating nonetheless.
The Austrian finally played his first game of the season on October 31, finishing with a minus-2 differential. Then, in the next two games, he earned his first two points of the season.
But in Reinbacher’s case, it’s mainly his defensive play that’s under scrutiny. And over the last four games, as Grant McCagg notes, it’s been very, very encouraging.
In fact, he was only on the ice for one opponent’s goal during that stretch, when he spent 78:23 on the ice.
