Reimer added another chapter to Toronto's goalie controversy on Saturday. He stopped 37 shots, leading the Maple Leafs to a 4-1 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins. He has now won each of his last two starts while making 35-plus saves. He should make for a good start tonight against the Oilers 18th ranked offence.
Reimer hasn't started since being run into by a teammate on October 17th. In his last full start he allowed just one goal on 37 shots in a win vs. Minnesota. He will be in tough tonight against a great Penguins team.

Reimer left Thursday's game with an apparent head injury. He has a history of concussions, so this is a positive sign that his injury is not serious.
It appeared as if Reimer took a knee to the head, and with a history of concussions, that is not good. He was able to skate off under his own power, but went straight to the dressing room. Update to follow.
Reimer stopped 36 of 37 shots in a 4-1 win over the Wild on Tuesday. After Jonathan Bernier has a streak of four straight starts, Reimer showed that he can still be the number one guy in Toronto. He will get another chance tonight vs. Carolina.

This will be Reimer's first start since the home opener on October 5th, he was pulled after allowing four goals on 21 shots. Jonathan Bernier has clearly been the better of the two netminders so far, but a good start from Reimer tonight would go a long way.
Reimer looked good in his first start of the season allowing three goals on 37 shots. He is locked into a battle with Jonathan Bernier, who also played very well in his first start. Reimer dominated the Senators last season going 3-0-0 with 1.67 GAA, .960 SV% and one shutout.
Reimer went 19-8-5 with a 2.46 GAA and .924 SV% last season and played great in his first career playoff appearance. He was the better of the two goalies in the preseason, thus he starts opening night. He will split time with Jonathan Bernier this season, limiting his value, but behind a good Leafs team he should be able to stockpile a lot of wins.
We already know that the two are going to split each of the first two games, but for now Reimer is the likely starter for the season opener. Bernier is a native of Quebec, but Reimer has been the better of the two goalies in camp. We will await for the official word, which will come tomorrow. For now consider Reimer "likely".
Reimer's playoff legacy continued to grow in Toronto last night. The 25-year-old netminder stopped 29 of 30 shots in the 2-1 win that froced Game 7 tonight in Boston. He has the 12th ranked GAA (2.58) and 8th ranked SV% (.932) in the playoffs. However none of that really matters in a Game 7, anything can happen.
Reimer stopped 43 of 44 shots in the 2-1 win in Boston. He was phenomenal, especially in the third period when Boston threw everything they had at Reimer. He held the fort and will be expected to keep the Maple Leafs alive in Game 6 tonight.
Reimer was peppered yet again in Game 4 when he faced 45 shots. However he allowed four goals including an OT winner to the red-hot David Krejci. The Maple Leafs face elimination in Boston tonight and they will need Reimer to be better than he has ever been. He has a 3.33 GAA (15th/19) and a .914 SV% (11th) to this point.
Reimer allowed four goals on 37 shots in the 5-2 loss in Game 3. He currently ranks 16th out of 20 in GAA (3.33) and 11th in SV% (.915). Tonight is a huge game for the Maple Leafs, they will need Reimer to be at his best so they don't go down 3-1.
Reimer played very well in Game 2 making 39 saves on 41 shots in the 4-2 win that knotted the series up. He will make his first career playoff start in Toronto tonight where the Leafs will look to take the lead in the series.
Reimer was peppered in Game 1, he allowed four goals on 40 shots in the 4-1 loss. He will be the Leafs starter for the playoffs, but getting past the Bruins is not going to be an easy task.
Reimer was all the Maple Leafs could have hoped for this season. He had a winning record every month of the season while posting solid GAA and SV%. Reimer was 1-1-1 with a 1.63 GAA and .948 SV% vs. the Bruins this season, but he will have to be at his best if the Maple Leafs are going to have a chance.
Reimer posted a 34-save shutout over the Panthers on Thursday. He has been really good lately. He is 6-3-1 with a 2.09 GAA with .938 SV% in April. Tonight's game could be a preview of a first-round matchup... And what a matchup it would be.
