Sam Reinhart is known for being more of a finesse offensively skilled type of player but last night that perception changed for a moment. At the end of the third period in a tie game, Sam Reinhart decided to throw a punch at Jacob Trouba.

Throughout the game things had been building towards a moment like this. Just seconds before the clip above things reach a boiling point when Jacob Trouba shoved Sam Reinhart into the boards. This prompted the aggressive response from Sam Reinhart.
No penalties would be handed out and the game would be sent to overtime. But now there is some concern that Sam Reinhart could face a fine for his actions. Just minutes into overtime Sam Reinhart would get his full revenge for the hit from Jacob Trouba by scoring the game-winning goal in overtime.
