Former Brandon Wheat King forward notches first NHL goal
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.
This achievement highlights Reinhardt’s growth since being drafted in the sixth round of the 2020 NHL Entry Draft and reflects his steady development with the Senators’ AHL affiliate, the Belleville Senators, before earning his recent NHL opportunity.
A surreal moment for @ReinhardtCole 🙌
