Reimer allowed three goals on 35 shots (.914 SV%) for his second straight loss as he was beaten by Detroit in his last start. The 34-year-old veteran netminder is having the worst season of his 13-year career, with his 8-14-5 record, 3.25 GAA and .896 SV%. He takes on his old team in Carolina, who have won five of their last six games after a 3-2 overtime win over Dallas last game.

The 34-year-old has struggled all season, with his 8-14-4 record, .895 SV% and 3.26 GAA. He will face the Detroit Red Wings, who have lost four of their last five games after a 2-1 loss to Philadelphia their last time out.

Norris suffered a shoulder injury on October 22nd and missed three months before returning to the lineup on January 18th. Norris played three games, scoring one goal on seven shots but will undergo shoulder surgery in the near future and will not play again this season. Ridly Greig was recalled from Belleville (AHL) to take Norris' spot on the roster and fill the void at centre.

Sandstrom had a 4-1-2 record, .911 SV% and 2.39 GAA in seven games for Lehigh Valley (AHL) but had to be returned to Philadelphia due to his conditioning stint running out. The 26-year-old has struggled at the NHL level, with his 1-6-1 record, .888 SV% and 3.37 GAA.

Peterka had seven goals, 11 assists, 64 SOG and 20 PIMs through 41 games with Buffalo in his previous NHL stint and has been recalled Wednesday from Rochester (AHL).

Luukkonen allowed three goals on 33 shots (.909 SV%) as he picked up his second defeat in three games as he was downed by Florida in his last start. The 23-year-old netminder has a great record at 10-5-1 but has struggled to stop the puck in general, as shown by his 3.41 GAA and .897 SV%. He faces the New York Islanders, who have been on a tough run as of late, losing six of their last seven games after a 4-1 loss to Boston last game.

Norris has been sidelined since October 22nd but will be back on the second line with Alex DeBrincat and Claude Giroux on Wednesday. Giroux is expected to take the face-offs, but Norris provides a massive offensive boost to the Senators, who averaged 4.2 goals per game in the five games Norris played earlier in the season.

Reimer allowed four goals on 37 shots (.892 SV%) for his fourth-straight defeat as he picked up the loss against Los Angeles in his last start. It has been a horrific first half of the season for the 34-year-old veteran, who is 7-13-3, with a 3.26 GAA and .895 SV%. He will face the New Jersey Devils, who are on fire yet again with their current four-game winning streak after a 5-2 win over Los Angeles last game.

Buffalo continues to shuffle their lineup around so that they can carry three goalies, this is once again nothing more than a paper transaction. Luukkonen should remain with the team and could start Tuesday in Chicago. Look for Craig Anderson to start Monday vs. the Panthers.
