Reinhart, 21, was considered to be one of the top defencemen in the Islanders’ system. He spent the majority of the 2014-15 season with the Bridgeport Sound Tigers of the American Hockey League, registering seven goals and 15 assists with 64 penalty minutes in 59 games.
The 6-foot-4 blueliner also appeared in eight games with the Islanders, posting one assist with six penalty minutes and a plus-1 rating. Prior to the 2014-15 season, Reinhart spent parts of five seasons in the Western Hockey League with the Edmonton Oil Kings.
The son of former NHLer Paul Reinhart was originally selected No. 4 overall by the Islanders in the 2012 NHL Draft.
