Mops up in loss Reimer stopped all six shots faced in the third period of Tuesday's 6-1 loss to the Canadiens.
Impact Montreal got to starter Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen for six goals over 26 shots through two periods and ended his night. Buffalo coach Lindy Ruff sent Reimer out for the third period, his fourth appearances since the Sabres claimed him off waivers Nov. 13.

Patrik Laine scores a hat trick in Montreal's 6-1 rout of Buffalo, extending Sabres' free fall

Patrik Laine scored his first hat trick with Montreal and the Canadiens extended the Buffalo Sabres’ winless streak to 11 games with a 6-1 victory

Falls to Wings in shootout Reimer made 26 saves in regulation and OT and stopped one of three shootout attempts in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Red Wings.
Impact Buffalo took a 5-3 lead into the third period but Reimer couldn't make it stick, giving up two goals on 12 shots as Detroit turned up the pressure, and he then got fooled by dekes to his blocker side in the shootout by both Lucas Raymond and Dylan Larkin. Reimer is 1-1-1 in three appearances since joining the Sabres with an .892 save percentage, and he's little threat to Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen at the top of the depth chart.

Facing Detroit Reimer will patrol the home crease Monday against the Red Wings, according to Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550.
Impact Reimer's last appearance came in a 3-0 loss to the Islanders on Nov. 30. The 36-year-old conceded nine goals over two starts with Anaheim, but he's been better after being acquired in a trade by Buffalo -- he has a 1-1-0 record, 2.05 GAA and .923 save percentage through two appearances with the Sabres. Reimer has a favorable matchup against a Detroit club that ranks 29th in the NHL with 2.48 goals per game through 27 contests.
DECEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE
Third loss of season Reimer stopped 17 of 19 shots in Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Islanders. The third goal was an empty-netter with eight seconds left in the third period.
Impact Reimer started in the second leg of this back-to-back set, but he didn't perform at his best and had to settle for another defeat and he sits at 1-3-0 in four appearances this season. However, and despite the record, it's worth noting Reimer has posted a save percentage of at least .890 in three of his four appearances. That said, his role as the backup behind Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen limits his upside considerably.

Slated starter for Saturday Reimer is slated to start in Saturday's road tilt versus the Islanders, per Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.
Impact Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen is set to start Friday versus Vancouver. Reimer has a record of 1-2-0 with a 3.69 GAA and an .889 save percentage in 36 appearances in 2024-25. The Islanders rank 30th offensively with 2.48 goals per game.

Sharp in win over former team Reimer stopped 31 of 33 shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.
Impact Reimer has had two stints with the Sharks, mostly recently in 2022-23. The 36-year-old returned with the Sabres, making his team debut after signing with Buffalo in the offseason but being lost on waivers to the Ducks and ultimately reclaimed Nov. 13. The netminder is 1-2-0 with 11 goals allowed on 99 shots over three appearances this season, though his performance should get better behind a Sabres team that has established itself as a playoff contender through the first quarter of 2024-25. Reimer's playing time is likely to be limited behind Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, though an opportunity to start exists next weekend with a back-to-back featuring games at home versus the Canucks on Friday and on the road against the Islanders on Saturday.

Starting Saturday Reimer will guard the road goal versus San Jose on Saturday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.
Impact Reimer allowed nine goals on 66 shots in two outings with Anaheim this season. He will get the second half of Buffalo's back-to-back after Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen played in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Ducks. San Jose ranks 27th in the league with 2.45 goals per game in 2024-25.

NHL Waivers: Will The Buffalo Sabres Prolong James Reimer's Career? The Sabres claimed James Reimer off NHL waivers on Wednesday. The 36-year-old is near the end of his NHL days, but he deserves credit for hi...
NOVEMBER 13 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM
Claimed off waivers Reimer was claimed off waivers by Buffalo on Wednesday from Anaheim, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Impact Reimer has a record of 0-2-0 with a 4.50 GAA and an .864 save percentage in two appearances with the Ducks in 2024-25. While those numbers are obviously bad, he was serviceable last season, posting an 11-8-2 record, 3.11 GAA and .904 save percentage across 25 outings with Detroit. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury, so for now Reimer might split the goaltending duties with Devon Levi. When Luukkonen is healthy, Reimer might shift to being his understudy while Levi, who has a 4.10 GAA and an .866 save percentage in five outings this campaign, might head to the AHL to work on his game. Unlike Reimer, Levi doesn't have to pass through waivers to be sent to the minors.
NOVEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE
Designated for waivers Reimer was waived by the Ducks on Tuesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Impact Reimer was always going to be the odd man out in Anaheim once John Gibson returned from his appendectomy. With the Avs losing Kaapo Kahkonen on waivers to Winnipeg on Tuesday, it's possible Colorado will be in the market for a veteran like Reimer. If he does clear waivers, Reimer figures to join up with AHL Colorado, potentially playing in the minors for the first time since 2010-11 when he was with the Toronto Marlies.
NOVEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE
Yields six goals in loss Reimer stopped 28 of 34 shots in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Devils.
Impact Reimer made his second start of the year and didn't do well. He's allowed nine goals on 66 shots so far while serving as backup to Lukas Dostal. John Gibson (abdomen) is traveling with the Ducks on their current road trip, which has two more stops with visits to the Islanders on Tuesday and the Penguins on Thursday. That means Reimer has likely run out of time to make a positive impression -- he could be waived once Gibson is ready to return.
