James Reimer - Page 3 - NHL News & Rumors

Starting Sunday Reimer will guard the road goal versus the Maple Leafs on Sunday, Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site reports.

Impact Reimer will get between the pipes for the first time since Dec. 27. Alex Lyon has enjoyed a run of playing time, including in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Kings. Reimer will see a Maple Leafs team that has lost two games in a row after a four-game winning streak.

Fades late against Minnesota Reimer made 25 saves in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Wild.

Impact Minnesota blew open a 2-2 game with three straight goals in just over two minutes during the third period. Reimer is wilting under a heavier workload with both Ville Husso (lower body) and Alex Lyon (upper body) on IR, and he's coughed up at least five goals in four of his last five outings with a horrendous 5.09 GAA and .853 save percentage over that stretch. It wouldn't be a surprise if Michael Hutchinson began to see more action until Detroit's goaltending crew gets healthier.

Slated to start Wednesday Reimer is set to start on the road against Minnesota on Wednesday, per Jessi Pierce of NHL.com.

Impact Ville Husso (lower body) and Alex Lyon (upper body) remain on injured reserve while Michael Hutchinson is expected to serve as the backup goaltender Wednesday. Reimer has a 3-5-2 record, 3.16 GAA and .897 save percentage in 11 appearances this year. He's struggled recently, allowing 18 goals on 132 shots (.864 save percentage) over his last four contests. The Wild are tied for 20th offensively this season with 3.03 goals per game, so this is an opportunity for Reimer to rebound.

Nearly blows early lead Reimer turned aside 37 shots in regulation and overtime and both shootout attempts he faced in Friday's 7-6 win over the Flyers.

Impact Detroit handed Reimer a 5-1 lead before the first intermission, but the veteran netminder coughed it up over the next two periods and was actually staring at a 6-5 deficit with about five minutes left. Dylan Larkin bailed him out with a tying goal however, and Reimer got the job done in extra time. It's his first win since Oct. 22, and he's been tagged for five or more goals in three of his last four outings. With neither Ville Husso (lower body) nor Alex Lyon (upper body) currently available though, the Wings have little choice but to keep giving Reimer a big workload.

DECEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Friday Reimer will patrol the home crease versus Philadelphia on Friday, Ted Kulfan of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Reimer has taken over as the Red Wings' No. 1 goaltender as Ville Husso (lower body) and Alex Lyon (upper body) are out of action. Reimer is currently on a five-game losing streak and is 2-5-2 with a 2.87 GAA and .903 save percentage this season. The Flyers dropped a 4-2 decision to Nashville on Thursday and are tied for 23rd in NHL scoring, averaging 2.88 goals per game.

DECEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Downed by Jets Reimer made 36 saves in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to Winnipeg.

Impact The Red Wings defense was simply overwhelmed, and Reimer had little chance on any of the pucks that beat him. With Ville Husso (lower body) on IR and Alex Lyon (upper body) also unavailable, the Detroit crease belongs to Reimer at the moment, but he's given up 12 goals on 89 shots while taking the loss in three straight appearances.

DECEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting versus Jets Reimer will start on the road versus the Jets on Wednesday.

Impact Reimer has been gifted an opportunity to stake a claim to playing time with Alex Lyon (upper body) and Ville Husso (lower body) both suffering injuries within the last week. Reimer hasn't won since Oct. 22, and he's at a poor 2-4-2 record with a 2.61 GAA and a .908 save percentage through nine games this season. He'll be backed up by Michael Hutchinson for the foreseeable future. The Jets have won four of their last six games, scoring 22 goals in that span.

DECEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Thrust into action in relief Reimer allowed two goals on 14 shots in a 4-3 home loss against the Ducks.

Impact Reimer came on for an injured Ville Husso (lower body) late in the first period. He allowed a power-play goal to Adam Henrique late in the first period, and an even-strength goal to Troy Terry early in the second before settling into the game. Considering the circumstances, Reimer did a pretty good job hanging in and giving his team a chance at the comeback victory. If Husso is forced to miss time, Reimer could see some regular playing time.

DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Loses after lengthy layoff Reimer surrendered five goals on 34 shots in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Stars. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Reimer hadn't started since Nov. 16 in Sweden versus the Senators. He tuned up with a 20-minute relief outing on Saturday, but he couldn't carry any momentum into this start. The 35-year-old is down to 2-3-2 with a 2.58 GAA and a .911 save percentage over eight appearances. He's currently the Red Wings' No. 3 goalie, so it will require either an injury or poor play from Alex Lyon or Ville Husso to get Reimer back into the mix on a regular basis.

Gets starting nod against Stars Reimer will be between the pipes on the road versus Dallas on Monday, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Reimer will take the first game of the Red Wings' back-to-back, which will leave coach Derek Lalonde with a decision about using either Ville Husso or Alex Lyon versus the Blues on Tuesday. Reimer clearly earned his start after saving all 11 shots he faced in a relief appearance against Ottawa on Saturday. With Detroit carrying three goalies, Reimer probably shouldn't be expected to play enough games to make him more than a mid-range fantasy option.

DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Flawless in relief Reimer saved all 11 shots that came his way in relief duty on the way to Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Senators.

Impact Reimer stepped into the crease to start the third period after scheduled starter Alex Lyon permitted four goals on 25 shots. Ironically, Reimer hadn't played since a Nov. 16 contest against the Senators in Sweden for the NHL Global Series, when he set aside 29 of 34 shots and ended up saddled with an overtime loss. The Red Wings are unique because they have three goalies on the active roster, with Ville Husso's 14 appearances leading the trio. There's simply not enough work for Reimer to stand out in fantasy, despite his impressive 2.18 GAA and .922 save percentage between seven contests.

DECEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Falls to Sens in OT Reimer turned aside 29 shots in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Senators.

Impact It was a wild affair in Stockholm, as Ottawa took a 4-0 lead early in the second period only to see Detroit storm back and tie it before the second intermission. Reimer made a number of big stops to help keep the comeback alive, but he'd probably like another crack at the OT winner -- with just two seconds left, Tim Stutzle took a two-handed swing at a puck in midair that the netminder had lost sight of, and it fluttered over Reimer's head as he reflexively ducked. It's the first time this season the 35-year-old has given up more than three goals in a game, but despite his sharp 2.30 GAA and .917 save percentage, he only sports a 2-2-2 record. With Ville Husso remaining back in North America for the birth of his child, it'll likely be Alex Lyon in the crease for the Red Wings on Friday against the Maple Leafs.

NOVEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Thursday Reimer will be in goal for Thursday's NHL Global Series game versus the Senators, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports.

Impact With Ville Husso (personal) not on the trip due to the birth of his child, Reimer will get the nod in the Red Wings' first game overseas. Head coach Derek Lalonde did not rule out Reimer playing both contests -- the Red Wings also face the Maple Leafs on Friday, but Alex Lyon could get that start. Reimer has allowed seven goals on 81 shots over his last three games, but he's gone 0-2-1 in that span.

NOVEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Falls to Habs in OT Reimer stopped 23 shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Canadiens.

Impact It was a frustrating night for the veteran netminder as two of Montreal's tallies, including Cole Caufield's OT winner, came on the power play while Reimer was screened. He still has yet to allow more than three goals in a game this season, and through five starts he sports a 1.80 GAA and .933 save percentage to go with a 2-2-1 record. Ville Husso (3.57 GAA, .890 SvP) continues to get more work in the Detroit crease, but that may not be the case much longer if Reimer keeps out-performing him.

Slated to face Canadiens Reimer will defend the home crease Thursday versus Montreal.

Impact Reimer has done well this season, posting a 2-2-0 record, 1.52 GAA and .944 save percentage in four contests this season. He stopped 25 of 26 shots but suffered a 2-0 loss to Florida in his start last Thursday. Montreal is tied for 19th with 2.92 goals per game this year.

NOVEMBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tough loss to Panthers Reimer stopped 25 of 26 shots in Thursday's 2-0 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Florida's final goal was scored into an empty net. Reimer made a number of big saves to keep the Wings in the game, but he would really like another crack at the one shot that beat him -- Steven Lorentz floated a shot toward the net late in the second period that the goalie couldn't squeeze with his trapper, and the puck then bounced off the crossbar and Reimer's back and skate before sliding across the goal line. The veteran netminder has yet to allow more than three goals in a start this season, and his 1.52 GAA and .944 save percentage through four outings is making a strong case for more playing time.

NOVEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to face Panthers Reimer is expected to start at home against Florida on Thursday, per Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press.

Impact Reimer has a 2-1-0 record, 1.68 GAA and .939 save percentage in three contests this season. The 35-year-old goaltender faced the Panthers once last season while he was a member of the Sharks, saving 41 of 44 shots en route to a 4-3 shootout loss. In 2023-24, Florida has gotten off to a sluggish start offensively, averaging 2.75 goals per game.

NOVEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Looks great in red and white so far Reimer made 25 saves in a 4-1 loss to the Jets on Thursday.

Impact He allowed three goals. It was a tight contest throughout, with Reimer and Connor Hellebuyck locked in a duel. The score was 2-1 for Winnipeg until the 10:26 mark of the third when Mason Appleton put the Jets up 3-1. Reimer has looked great in red and white this season, and he has a 2-1-0 record with a 1.68 GAA and .939 save percentage. He is a solid spot starter in deep formats.

OCTOBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Slated to start Thursday Reimer is expected to start at home against Winnipeg on Thursday, Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site reports.

Impact Reimer has won his first two starts on the campaign while saving 54 of 56 shots (.963 save percentage). He'll look to keep that going Thursday, though the Jets are doing well too, having won their last two contests while outscoring the competition 7-4 over that stretch. Reimer has had mixed results against the Jets during his career, posting a 7-9-1 record, 3.25 GAA and .907 save percentage in 20 career contests verus Winnipeg.

OCTOBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Solid in Sunday's win Reimer stopped 29 of 31 shots in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Flames.

Impact Reimer was steady in his second outing of the year, though it didn't earn him another shutout. The Red Wings supplied plenty of goals to support him, including a hat trick from Alex DeBrincat. Reimer has allowed two goals on 54 shots over his two outings this season, both wins. Ville Husso remains the starter for now, but Reimer's stronger performance could help him pull closer to a 50-50 split, especially with Alex Lyon awaiting his first action in 2023-24.

OCTOBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Sunday Reimer will get the home start Sunday versus Calgary, according to Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press.

Impact Reimer stopped all 23 shots in his only start this season, a 4-0 win over Columbus on Monday. Reimer, who came over from the Sharks in the offseason, did not fare well against the Flames last year, giving up six goals on 38 shots in his only start against Calgary.

Blanks Blue Jackets in Wings debut Reimer made 23 saves in Monday's 4-0 win over Columbus.

Impact It was quite a way for Reimer to start his tenure with Detroit, as he turned aside 23 shots in a shutout victory. The 35-year-old veteran posted a 12-21-8 record with an .890 save percentage last season with San Jose. Reimer was slated to open the year as the Red Wings' backup, though Ville Husso had struggled a bit early in the season, allowing seven goals in his first two games, potentially opening the door for Reimer to take on a larger role.
