James Reimer - NHL News & Rumors

Earns win in regular-season finale Reimer stopped 19 of 20 shots in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Maple Leafs.

Impact Reimer played the last two games of the regular season to give Linus Ullmark some rest before the postseason. On the year, Reimer has a 7-4-2 record with a 2.42 GAA and an .886 save percentage across 14 contests. It'll likely be Ullmark in net for the vast majority of the Senators' playoff games, so don't expect to see Reimer very much moving forward.

Drawing start Wednesday Reimer will start Wednesday's home game against the Maple Leafs, Luke Fox of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Reimer made his first start of the month Sunday on the road against New Jersey, but he'll draw a second consecutive start to close out the regular season. Across 13 appearances for Ottawa this year, the 38-year-old has gone 6-4-2 with a 2.53 GAA and .881 save percentage. Despite his back-to-back starts to end the regular season, Linus Ullmark should serve as the primary netminder during the playoffs.

Falls in overtime Reimer stopped 26 of 30 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Devils.

Impact The Senators opted to rest some players for this contest, and they still managed to put up a good fight. Reimer was just okay in his first appearance since March 31 versus the Panthers. He's now 6-4-2 with a 2.53 GAA and an .881 save percentage over 13 appearances this season. It's unclear if the Senators will give Linus Ullmark a full week off between games or if they'll have him get into a playoff tuneup in the regular-season finale at home Wednesday versus the Maple Leafs. In any case, once the postseason gets going, Reimer figures to be firmly on the bench.

Solid in relief effort Reimer stopped 12 of the 13 shots he saw in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to Florida.

Impact Reimer entered the contest in the back half of Tuesday's first period after Linus Ullmark gave up five goals. Reimer put together a solid outing, as he allowed just one twine finder to Florida's Matthew Tkachuk. Overall, Reimer has a 6-4-1 record, a 2.42 GAA and an .883 save percentage through 12 outings this season. Outside of his loss to the Lightning on Saturday, the 38-year-old netminder has been solid over the past two months with a 4-1-0 record, a 1.58 GAA and a .911 save percentage over his last six appearances. While his starts have been limited as of late, he is a solid spot start in deep fantasy leagues when his name is called.

Drawing road start Monday Reimer will start Monday's road game against the Rangers, Jackson Starr of the Senators' official site reports.

Impact Reimer has seen limited playing time in recent weeks, as Monday's start will be his third since the Olympic break. However, he's been effective over a limited sample, going 2-0-0 with a 1.00 GAA and .943 save percentage across his last two outings. The Rangers are generating 2.79 goals per game this year, which is the seventh-worst mark in the NHL.

Wins third straight Reimer made 17 saves in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Islanders.

Impact His defense did a good job of stifling the visitors' offense, especially late as Ottawa rallied from a 2-1 deficit -- Reimer faced just one shot in the final 20 minutes. The 38-year-old netminder hasn't seen much work of late behind Linus Ullmark as the Senators push for a playoff spot, but he's gotten the job done when called upon. Reimer has won his last three starts dating back to Feb. 5, allowing just three goals on 51 shots (.941 save percentage) during that time.
