Cole Reinhardt returned from the NHL just in time to score the overtime winner as the Belleville Senators outlasted the visiting Hartford Wolfpack 6-5 at the CAA Arena.
Reinhardt’s seventh of the season came just 16 seconds into the overtime period of a game that saw Belleville respond from a 3-1 deficit in the second period.
Reinhardt has spent most of the season with Ottawa including the last 13 games. He cleared waivers at noon Wednesday and was back with the B-Sens in time for the game. Reihardt has 17 points in 14 games with Belleville.
Defenceman Jeremy Davies had four assists and says it wasn’t pretty, but:
