With all of the (well-deserved) hullabaloo about Buffalo Sabres phenom Jack Eichel these days it's easy to forget they also have another extremely talented prospect on their roster: Sam Reinhart.

You might remember him as that one kid who was drafted second overall in the 2014 NHL Draft. After a year finishing up in Canadian junior hockey, Reinhart has been earning big minutes alongside Eichel in Buffalo this season. And on Friday he straight-up stole the spotlight from him.
With the Sabres trailing the league-leading Canadiens in the second period, Reinhart squatted in front of the net, followed the puck off the boards and backhanded it without looking straight to Matt Moulson in front for a goal.
