Overall, Reaves is a player who has had to deal with a lot of healthy scratches, especially under Sheldon Keefe. However, head coach Craig Berube is giving Reaves more opportunities.
So far this season, Reaves has yet to get into a fight. Instead, he is throwing the body around and doing a solid job of being physical on the fourth line.
Last night, Reaves was in against the Washington Capitals and it was a very good game. The Leafs made a late comeback and ended up winning by a score of 4-3 in overtime.
Meanwhile, Reaves went viral during the game for a hilarious incident that happened along the boards.
As you can see down below, Reaves got tangled up with the advertising. This led to a pretty funny moment as a piece of Lexus branding got ripped off and got stuck on Reaves' pants.
Eventually, Reaves was able to get the branding off of him, once and for all.
This moment subsequently went viral on social media, and fans couldn't help but share a laugh about all of it.
Meanwhile, most Maple Leafs fans were just happy to see this Leafs team pick up a win against a good team like the Washington Capitals.
The Capitals came into this game with a record of 10-4 and you can be sure that most people had the Leafs losing, especially coming off of a loss to the Senators. It was a back-to-back, so even more reason to think the Leafs would be tired.
Either way, this is going to be a very interesting next few weeks for the Leafs. On Saturday, they play the Edmonton Oilers.
This should prove to be an interesting matchup. Hopefully, we can see the team go on a run.
