Reinhardt was recalled from AHL Belleville on Thursday.
Given the Senators' current forward absences, Reinhardt may be immediately pressed into service versus Nashville on Thursday. If he does play, it would represent the 22-year-old winger's NHL debut, having played exclusively in the minors over the last two years. Even if Reinhardt does suit up, it will likely be in a bottom-six role in which he plays limited minutes.

Reinhardt was reassigned to AHL Belleville on Friday, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
Reinhardt's demotion suggests Drake Batherson (illness), Dylan Gambrell (illness) or Tim Stutzle (knee) will likely be ready to return Saturday versus the Rangers. Reinhardt's picked up 26 points through 60 AHL appearances this season.
