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...
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.

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.

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.

In net Sunday Reimer will be between the pipes for Sunday's road game versus New Jersey, according to Mike Morreale of NHL.com.
Impact Reimer will make his second appearance of the season as Anaheim is on the second half of a back-to-back. The 36-year-old made 29 saves on 32 shots in a 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights on Oct. 13. Reimer's opponent, the Devils, are averaging 3.45 goals.

Loses Anaheim debut Reimer stopped 29 of 32 shots in a 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights on Sunday.
Impact Reimer kept things even over the first two periods, but the Golden Knights pulled away with a pair of goals in the third, one of which came on a power play. Reimer was claimed off waivers from Buffalo before Opening Night as the Ducks wanted a veteran backup for Lukas Dostal while John Gibson (abdomen) is on the mend. Dostal put up a shutout in his first start of the year, so Reimer's playing time is likely to be sparse over the remainder of the month.

Making first start of season Reimer will be in net for Sunday's road game against the Golden Knights, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.
Impact Reimer will make his first start for Anaheim after being claimed off waivers Monday. With John Gibson being placed on injured reserve, the Ducks needed to shore up their goaltending depth behind Lukas Dostal. Reimer posted a 11-8-2 record, .904 save percentage and 3.11 GAA in 25 regular-season appearances with Detroit in 2023-24.

Claimed by Anaheim Reimer was claimed off waivers by the Ducks on Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Impact Reimer was waived by Buffalo on Sunday, but he'll land with Anaheim ahead of the regular season. The 36-year-old made 25 regular-season appearances for Detroit last year, logging an 11-8-2 record, 3.11 GAA and .904 save percentage. If he sticks with the Ducks this year, he'll likely serve as a backup netminder behind Lukas Dostal.

Hits waivers Reimer was placed on waivers Sunday, per Chris Johnston of The Athletic.
Impact Reimer posted a record of 11-8-2 with a 3.11 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 25 appearances with Detroit in the 2023-24 regular season. He signed a one-year, $1 million contract with Buffalo in the summer. Reimer will head to AHL Rochester if he clears.
OCTOBER 6 • ROTOWIRE
Signs one-year deal Reimer inked a one-year, $1 million contract with Buffalo on Tuesday.
Impact The 36-year-old Reimer will join an extremely young goalie group that includes Devon Levi (22), Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (25) and recently signed Felix Sandstrom (27). Barring some standout performances in training camp, Reimer figures to enter the year as the No. 2 option behind Luukkonen, though he could be shipped down to the minors to serve as an emergency depth option as well.

Gets shootout win Tuesday Reimer stopped 29 shots in regulation and overtime and all three shootout attempts he faced in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Canadiens.
Impact Detroit needed to win and get some help to sneak into the playoffs, and while Reimer got the job done, Washington also won in Philadelphia to lock up the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference. Reimer finishes the regular season having gone 11-8-2 in 25 outings with a 3.11 GAA and .904 save percentage, and the 36-year-old will head into the offseason in search of a backup role with another club as a free agent.

Starting in Montreal Reimer will defend the road net Tuesday against the Canadiens, according to Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site.
Impact Reimer has won four of his last five outings, including a 32-save effort in Saturday's 5-4 overtime victory over Toronto. He has a 10-8-2 record this season with a 3.07 GAA and a .905 save percentage across 24 appearances. Montreal is tied for 26th in the league this campaign with 2.81 goals per contest.

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.
