Puts on show against Leafs Reimer made 32 saves in a 5-4 overtime win over Toronto on Saturday.

Impact It was his 500th NHL game and first start since March 28. And yes, Reimer did surrender Auston Matthews 69th goal which tied Mario Lemieux's mark (1995-96). But he put on a show in the third with several huge saves to ensure overtime would come. The Wings stayed in contention for a wild card spot with the win, but the team has lost seven of his last 10 games. The Wings play the Habs back-to-back starting Monday night, so Optimus Reims will likely be in the blue paint for one of those games.

Tending twine Saturday Reimer will patrol the road crease in Toronto on Saturday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Reimer has seen limited action this season, going 9-8-2 with a 3.03 GAA and a .906 save percentage in 23 appearances. He won his only start against the Maple Leafs this season, turning aside 28 shots in a 4-2 victory in January.

Flood gates open in loss Reimer made 29 saves in a 4-0 loss to the Hurricanes on Thursday.

Impact Reimer stopped 15 pucks in the first period, and the first 19 shots he faced. But when the gates open, he and the Wings were flooded. Reimer allowed four goals in a 15:41 span of the second period. The Wings are in free fall and have lost 11 of their last 14 games. However, Reimer was in net for the three wins in that span and is 3-1-0 with a .915 save percentage in his last four starts. But beware activating him based on this short window of decent performance -- the Wings have several tough matchups coming up, and the team is too much of a risk overall.

Slated starter for Thursday Reimer is expected to start on the road against Carolina on Thursday, according to Max Bultman of The Athletic.

Impact Reimer has won his last three starts while saving 90 of 97 shots (.928 save percentage). He's 9-7-2 with a 2.98 GAA and a .907 save percentage in 22 outings this campaign. The Hurricanes, who rank ninth offensively with 3.37 goals per game, figure to be a challenging adversary for Reimer.

Cruises to third straight win Reimer turned aside 33 shots in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Islanders.

Impact Detroit never trailed in the game, getting on the board first after a scoreless first period before quickly building a 3-1 lead ahead of the second intermission. Reimer has won three straight starts, and while his 3.18 GAA and .907 save percentage through six outings in March don't stand out, he's moved into the No. 1 role in the crease for the Red Wings due to Alex Lyon's woeful play of late.

MARCH 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Slated starter for Thursday Reimer is set to face the Islanders at home Thursday, per Carley Johnston of the Red Wings' official site.

Impact Reimer has allowed at least three goals in three of his past four appearances. He's 8-7-2 with a 2.98 GAA and a .907 save percentage in 21 outings in 2023-24. The Islanders are 14-15-5 on the road, so this is a somewhat favorable matchup for Reimer.

MARCH 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Hangs on for OT win Reimer made 32 saves in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact Columbus jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first period, but aside from a Kirill Marchenko power-play tally in the third, Reimer was stout the rest of the way and gave his team a chance to mount a comeback. The 36-year-old netminder has been Detroit's best option in the crease since the All-Star break, going 4-1-0 over seven outings with a 2.48 GAA and .929 save percentage, and he appears to have worked into a timeshare with Alex Lyon.

MARCH 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Tuesday Reimer will start Tuesday at home against Columbus, per Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press.

Impact Reimer made 25 saves in his last start on Saturday against Buffalo in a 4-1 win. The 36-year-old has been sharp this season, registering an .906 save percentage and a 7-7-2 record. He will have a favorable matchup at home against Columbus, who is 10-16-6 on the road.

MARCH 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sharp in Saturday's win Reimer made 25 saves in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Sabres.

Impact Tage Thompson beat him on a Buffalo power play midway through the first period, but Reimer shut the door the rest of the way. The 36-year-old goalie picked up his first win since Feb. 25 to even his record at 7-7-2 on the season, and in six outings since the All-Star break, Reimer has delivered a .931 save percentage. With Alex Lyon buckling under a heavy workload and losing six straight starts, look for Reimer to be in the crease more often down the stretch as Detroit tries to hang onto a wild-card spot.

Between pipes Saturday Reimer will defend the home crease versus Buffalo on Saturday, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Reimer will make his third appearance in the Red Wings' last four games. He replaced Alex Lyon on Tuesday in a 7-3 loss to Buffalo. Reimer is 6-7-2 with a 3.09 GAA and a .903 save percentage. He will face the Sabres, who have won three games in a row and are just three points in arrears of the Red Wings in a fight for the final wild card spot in the Eastern Conference.

Needed in relief Tuesday Reimer stopped 23 of 26 shots after replacing Alex Lyon late in the first period of Tuesday's 7-3 loss to the Sabres.

Impact The 35-year-old backup didn't have much more success than Lyon did in the crease, but the ugly loss was a total team effort by Detroit. Reimer has started only three of the Wings' 15 games since the All-Star break, but he's also been needed in relief twice and has a 2.70 GAA and .926 save percentage in those five outings. With Lyon struggling badly at the moment and Detroit having fallen out of a playoff spot due to a six-game losing streak, coach Derek Lalonde has every incentive to give Reimer a bigger workload.

MARCH 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Takes loss in Vegas Reimer stopped 31 of 35 shots in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Golden Knights. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Reimer limited the damage to two goals over the first two periods, but the Golden Knights were a shot better in the third. This was the second half of a back-to-back for the Red Wings, who have now lost five straight games, though Reimer's been tagged with just one of those defeats. The 35-year-old netminder is at 6-7-2 with a 3.05 GAA and a .904 save percentage through 18 outings. Alex Lyon will likely be back between the pipes Tuesday versus the Sabres.

MARCH 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Saturday Reimer will be in net Saturday on the road against Vegas, per Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press.

Impact Reimer came in relief during Wednesday's 7-2 loss against Colorado, surrendering two goals on 14 shots. The 35-year-old has been solid registering a .906 save percentage and a 6-6-2 record. He will continue to split time with Alex Lyon and battle for the number-one spot come playoffs.

MARCH 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Allows two goals in relief Reimer surrendered two goals on 14 shots in a 7-2 defeat to Colorado on Wednesday.

Impact After Alex Lyon allowed five goals on 40 shots through the first two periods, Reimer came on in relief to start the third, where he allowed two more tallies in the lopsided defeat. The veteran netminder had been solid recently in limited work behind Lyon, going 3-0-0 with a stellar .964 save percentage in his prior four outings. Overall, he's 6-6-2 with a .906 save percentage and 2.98 GAA this season. Reimer should get at least one start later this week, with Detroit playing back-to-back road games versus Arizona and Vegas on Friday and Saturday, respectively.

Gets overtime win Reimer made 33 saves on 35 shots in a 3-2 overtime win over the Blackhawks on Sunday.

Impact Reimer was the busier of the two netminders, facing 35 shots, including three in overtime, to get the better of Peter Mrazek in the goaltending duel. The only two goals allowed by Reimer were in the second period, including a late power-play goal by Nick Foligno to give the Blackhawks a 2-1 lead. The 35-year old netminder turned away the remainder of the shots and finished with a .943 save percentage. Reimer, despite this strong game, still remains the backup to Alex Lyon. While his performance was encouraging, it's unclear when he will see his next start.

Starting in Chicago Reimer will start between the road pipes in Sunday's matchup with Chicago, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Reimer was unbeatable in his last start Saturday versus the Flames, stopping all 38 shots sent his way en route to a comfy 5-0 victory. He'll try to pick up his sixth win of the season in a favorable road matchup with a Blackhawks squad that's 11-15-2 at home this year.
