James Reimer News

The Maple Leafs signed goaltender James Reimer to a two-year deal worth $4.6 million on Friday.

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.

Reimer will start for Toronto.

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 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 starts for the Leafs on Sunday.

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.

Reimer stopped all 31 shots he faced in the final 40 minutes after replacing Jonathan Bernier, who left Thursday's game with a lower-body injury.

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.

He stopped 37 of 40 shots in a 4-2 loss the first time he faced San Jose.
