Reimer leads the Leafs onto the ice for warmups

Remier skated on Saturday morning so his tweaked groin is good-to-go today vs. the Kings. He had a stellar outing on Wednesday, stopping 41 of 42 shots in the 2-1 shootout win over the Red Wings. Today it looks like he will be the one to take on the Kings, a team who are 1-2-0 on their current road-trip.

The Leafs aren't skating this morning, but James Reimer is expected to start in goal.

Remier skated on Saturday morning which suggests his tweaked groin is good-to-go today vs. the Kings. He had a stellar outing on Wednesday, stopping 41 of 42 shots in the 2-1 shootout win over the Red Wings. Today it looks like he will be the one to take on the Kings, a team who are 1-2-0 on their current road-trip.

Reimer (groin) says he could start Sunday if he is called upon.

The belief is that the Maple Leafs planned to start Reimer tonight and Jonathan Bernier tomorrow vs. his former team, but after Reimer tweaked his groin in practice on Thursday, it will be Bernier tonight and could be Reimer tomorrow. There will be no morning skate tomorrow, so the Leafs starter will not be revealed until warmups at 4:30 PM ET.

Reimer left practice on Friday with a sore groin.

Reimer appeared to be in-line to make a second straight start on Saturday vs. the Red Wings, but he tweaked his groin in practice this morning. Coach Carlyle hopes the goalies can split the back-to-back, but it will all depend on Reimer’s health. Monitor his status during Saturday’s morning skate.

James Reimer to start for the Maple Leafs

Reimer allowed six goals on 25 shots in relief in the Maple Leafs 9-2 loss to the Predators on November 18th. Jonathan Bernier has started the last nine games, but Reimer will snap that streak tonight in Detroit. He allowed four goals on 35 shots in a 4-1 loss to the Red Wings the last time he faced them.

Reimer stopped 30 of 33 shots in the Maple Leafs 3-2 loss to the Coyotes on Tuesday. With Jonathan Bernier starting last night, it will be Reimer on Sunday against a Senators team who he is 9-2-1 against in his career. Reimer should be a great Sunday start given his history of success vs. Ottawa.

Reimer is expected to start on Sunday.

Reimer stopped 30 of 33 shots in the Maple Leafs 3-2 loss to the Coyotes on Tuesday. With Jonathan Bernier starting vs. the Rangers on Saturday, it seems nearly certain that it will be Reimer on Sunday against a Senators team who he is 9-2-1 against in his career.

Reimer leads the Leafs onto the ice for warmups.

Reimer stopped 45 of 47 shots in the Maple Leafs 3-2 win over the Blackhawks on Saturday. It was his first win since October 14th and he now sits at 3-1-0 with a 2.47 GAA and .929 SV% this season. He draws a good matchup vs. a struggling Arizona squad.

Reimer stopped all eight shots that he faced after relieving Jonathan Bernier last Saturday. Tonight will be his first start since October 17 vs. the Red Wings. He has two wins with a 2.63 GAA and .914 SV% so far this year, but has a rough matchup vs. Chicago tonight.

Reimer is expected to get the call on Wednesday for Toronto.

Reimer allowed four goals on 35 shots in a 4-1 loss to the Red Wings last Thursday. Toronto did not have their best effort on Friday and it resulted in Reimer's worst outing of the year. Tonight he is expected to get the call against a Senators team he has been really good against in his career (9-2-1 with a .944 SV%)

Reimer makes his third consecutive start in goal on Friday.

Reimer stopped 22 of 24 shots for the 3-2 OT win over the Avalanche on Tuesday. Reimer has won back-to-back games while posting a 2.24 GAA and .920 SV% so he will start at home tonight in the first game of the home-and-home series with Detroit. He was 0-1-0 with a 4.63 GAA and .860 SV% in two outings vs. the Red Wings last year.

Reimer will likely start in goal Friday vs. Detroit.

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 will make his second straight start on Tuesday.

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 (head) left Sunday's game and will not return.

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 leads the Maple Leafs onto the ice for warmups; he starts.

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.
