David Reinbacher - NHL News & Rumors

Promoted to NHL roster Reinbacher was elevated from the minors Monday.

Impact Reinbacher made his NHL debut this season, appearing in two games for the Habs in which he recorded one assist, three shots and one hit. In the minors, the 21-year-old blueliner's offensive upside was on display, as he generated five goals and 19 assists in 57 regular-season tilts.

Sent to minors Reinbacher was loaned to AHL Laval on Sunday.

Impact Reinbacher made his first two NHL appearances at the end of the 2025-26 regular season, but he was a healthy scratch for each of the Canadiens' first four games in their first-round series against the Lightning. The Rocket earned a first-round bye in the 2026 Calder Cup Playoffs and will take on AHL Toronto in Game 1 on Wednesday. Unless Reinbacher receives another call-up before then, the right-shot blueliner will play a major role with the minor-league club going forward.

Picks up assist in NHL debut Reinbacher notched an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Islanders.

Impact This was Reinbacher's NHL debut, and he saw 11:17 of ice time. The Canadiens tend to shelter their third-pairing defensemen, so don't expect Reinbacher to get many minutes even if he's able to stay in the lineup during the ongoing absences of Noah Dobson (upper body) and Alexandre Carrier (upper body). The 21-year-old Reinbacher has 24 points in 57 AHL outings this season.

Three assists in AHL win Reinbacher notched three assists in AHL Laval's 9-3 win over Rochester on Friday.

Impact Reinbacher went two months between multi-point efforts. He has five assists over his last nine contests. The 2023 first-round pick has a bright future, but he has yet to display a consistent scoring touch. He has 19 points and a plus-13 rating over 42 appearances in his first full AHL campaign after a knee injury cost him most of 2024-25.

Another big game Saturday Reinbacher scored twice in AHL Laval's 7-2 win over Belleville on Saturday.

Impact Reinbacher posted three goals and an assist over two games versus Belleville on consecutive days. He's already at a career-high seven points in 10 AHL contests, with his past two outings accounting for over half of his offense. Reinbacher will have plenty of time to continue developing in the AHL this year, where he'll be able to play big minutes.

One of each in overtime win Reinbacher scored a goal on three shots and added an assist in AHL Laval's 4-3 overtime win over Belleville on Friday.

Impact Reinbacher earned his first goal and first multi-point effort of the season in this contest. He's at five points over nine games in 2025-26 since he recovered from a broken hand that kept him out of action for over four weeks to begin the season. The 21-year-old blueliner has had a long list of injuries early in his career, and the Canadiens' defense at the NHL level has been a strength, so the team can be patient with his development.

Out with broken hand Reinbacher suffered a broken metacarpal bone and will be out for four weeks, the Habs announced Friday.

Impact Reinbacher missed much of the 2024-25 campaign with a knee injury and now once again finds himself on the shelf for at least four weeks. It was unlikely that the 20-year-old blueliner was going to make the Opening Night roster to begin with, but this injury all but guarantees he will start the year in the minors with AHL Laval.

Undergoing evaluation Reinbacher is being evaluated for an undisclosed injury sustained in Thursday's preseason game versus the Maple Leafs, Eric Engels of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Reinbacher left the game in the third period, and the Canadiens didn't have a specific update in postgame comments. The 20-year-old defenseman was already a long shot to make the NHL roster, and missing time in preseason won't help his cause. Expect him to be assigned to AHL Laval once healthy.
