Before he was selected fifth overall by the Habs in last week’s NHL Entry Draft, Reinbacher played with Kloten HC in the Swiss National League. Last season, he contributed 22 points with three goals and 19 assists over 46 games.
Over the past few days, Reinbacher had the opportunity to showcase his skills at the Canadiens’ development camp held at the Bell Sports Complex in Brossard.
He intends to return to Montreal in a few weeks for training camp.
