Reencarnacion finds his footing on second line

After a hideous World Cup performance that saw Season 44 First Overall Selection Edwin Reencarnacion record zero points in 13 games, there was some concern as to whether the  absolutely woeful performances he brought to that tournament would carry over to the start of his VHL career. While he did score two goals in his first professional game, Reencarnacion failed to bring that level of performance on a consistent enough basis and this saw the Dominican rack up only seven points in his first 17 games. Seemingly showing his frustration at how inept Reencarnacion was looking on the ice, Americans GM Chris Miller decided to move him onto the second line with recent free agent acquisition Niklas Kurri and fellow VHL rookie Jorma Ruutu. As it turns out, this move has brought out the absolute best in Reencarnacion as he has gone on to score 25 points in his last 20 games. Should this continue, one would expect that Reencarnacion will make a genuine challenge for the Rookie of the Year award many had expected him to win prior to the start of the season, although he faces stiff competition from his teammate Ruutu along with Helsinki pair Thomas Duddy and Sooryuu Kaminogi.
