Former Brandon Wheat King forward Cole Reinhardt scored his first NHL goal during the Ottawa Senators’ 4-3 victory over the Calgary Flames on November 25, 2024. Reinhardt, playing in his fourth NHL game across two seasons, notched the milestone in the second period to help the Senators snap a five-game losing streak. Of note, former Wheat King teammate Ridly Greig picked up an assist on Reinhardt’s goal.
