Reimer has missed the last five games with a groin injury, but the emergence of Harri Sateri during his absence will have Reimer return in a back-up role. Reimer could get the nod in Edmonton next Monday.
Reimer has missed the last four games and is 1.5 weeks into a “multiple week” timetable so he appears to be right on schedule. Reimer will likely need a couple of practices before he’s ready to return, but with Harri Sateri playing well they don’t need to rush him.
Reimer was hurt in Dallas last Tuesday and it was already announced that he was going to miss multiple weeks, so moving him to IR simply opens up a roster spot for Samuel Montembeault to be recalled to serve as Harri Sateri’s backup moving forward.
