It was originally expected that Jonathan Bernier would go tonight in Toronto and then Reimer tomorrow in Detroit, but it appears it will be the other way around. Reimer has won back-to-back games while allowing four goals on 50 shots (.920 SV%), so it looks like Toronto will reward him with a third straight start. He was 0-1-0 with a 4.63 GAA and .860 SV% in two outings vs. Detroit last year.

Reimer was awarded the win despite leaving Sunday's game early after a collision with Dominic Moore. He stopped 24 of 26 shots in the Leafs 6-3 win over the Rangers. Head coach Randy Carlyle will stick with the hot-hand and give Reimer another start tonight in Colorado. The Avalanche are 1-2 and have struggled to score goals early on this year.
Reimer was removed from Sunday's game as a precaution following a collision with Dominic Moore and his presence at practice this morning proves it was simply a protocol and that he is fine.
Reimer's first start of the season ended early after suffering a head/neck injury in an incidental collision with Rangers' forward Dominic Moore. Reimer had a nice evening going, having stopped 24 of 26 shots, but given his history of neck injuries, the Maple Leafs elected to pull him from the game as a precaution. He left with a 6-2 lead intact.
Reimer had a rough year in 2013-14, he went 12-16-1 with a 3.29 GAA and .911 SV% and took a clear backseat to Jonathan Bernier. Tonight, he will look to get the Maple Leafs into the win column. Bernier has allowed nine goals on 64 shots (.877 SV%) so a good start from Reimer could earn him some more playing time early in the season.

Reimer, 26, had a tough season in his first year of a timeshare with Jonathan Bernier. He finished the season 12-16-1 with a 3.29 GAA and .911 SV% which included a stretch of five straight losses when Bernier was injured--a time the Leafs really needed Reimer to step-up. Toronto does not look like the place for Reimer long-term so this deal gives the Maple Leafs a high-end back-up to start the season and the ability to trade him if the right offer comes along.
Remier allowed two goals on 33 shots in a loss to the Lightning on Tuesday. Ouch, this guy just can win this season. While this game is meaningless in the standings, the battle of Ontario is never meaningless to the Sens and Leafs. Each team will be looking for the W tonight.
Reimer was tagged with four goals on 41 shots in a 4-2 loss to the Jets on Saturday. Reimer still has not recorded a win in a game he started since January 21st. The Leafs have completely imploded and need to run the table with help to even have a sniff at the playoffs. Reimer will take on a Lightning team who lit him up for five goals on 30 shots two and half weeks ago.
Reimer allowed one goal on 11 shots after replacing Jonathan Bernier on Thursday. The Leafs went on to win the game in OT, giving Reimer the W. The last time Bernier was injured, Reimer struggled mightily. With the Leafs season on the brink, he will need to step-up to keep them alive. He will likely start all of Toronto's remaining games.
Reimer allowed four goals on 36 shots in a 4-3 loss to the Canadiens last night. Since Jonathan Bernier was injured, Reimer has lost all four starts while posting a 3.77 GAA and .899 SV% (including the LA game). Tonight, he faces a Devils team who have lost four of their last five.
Reimer surrendered five goals on 30 shots in a 5-3 loss to the Lightning on Wednesday. He has given up 11 goals on 93 shots (.882 SV%) during the Leafs three-game slide. Toronto has another crucial matchup tonight with their rivals from Montreal in town. He stopped 34 shots in a 4-3 win over the Habs on opening night.

Reimer allowed three goals on 31 shots in a 3-2 loss to the Red Wings last night. Randy Carlyle was not all that pleased with Reimer's performance, but the three goals all came on an odd-man rush or partial breakaway. Tonight, he will face the Lightning at the ACC. He is 1-3-0 with a 3.31 GAA and .915 SV% in his last four outings.

Reimer allowed three goals on 32 shots in a 4-2 loss to Washington on Sunday. He will make his fourth straight appearance for the first time all season when the Leafs are in Detroit tonight. He was yanked after allowing three goals on 12 in his first start vs. the Red Wings.
Reimer stopped all 31 shots he faced in the final two periods of Thursday's win over the Kings. Reimer replaced Jonathan Bernier, who left the game with an undisclosed injury. The injury will keep Bernier out for a few games, so Reimer becomes the number-1 for Sunday at least. He had 49 saves in a 2-1 shootout win in his first start vs. Washington.
If the injury to Bernier is serious, Reimer would step-in as the Maple Leafs starer, a spot he has been chasing all season. Reimer is owned in 43 per cent of Yahoo! leagues and would be worth an add with Bernier potentially sidelined.
Reimer allowed two goals on 33 shots in a loss to the Blue Jackets on March 3. He has clearly fallen behind Jonathan Bernier on the depth chart. Bernier is making a case for a Vezina Trophy, while Reimer has not won a game since January 23. He gets the call vs the Sharks. He stopped 37 of 40 shots in a 4-2 loss the first time he faced San Jose.
