Reimer will get the nod in consecutive games for the Sabres for just the second time this season when they host the Senators on Tuesday. Reimer secured the victory in his last start, stopping 33 of the 36 shots he faced in a 5-3 win in Winnipeg on Sunday. The 36-year-old netminder owns a 3-6-2 record and a .904 SV% in 13 appearances with the Sabres this season. Buffalo enters action on Tuesday at +135 on the money line.
The Sabres will somewhat surprisingly turn to Reimer between the pipes when they travel to Utah on Thursday. Reimer's last start came on March 3rd, when he allowed four goals on 20 shots in a 4-3 overtime loss in Montreal. The 36-year-old netminder owns a 2-5-2 record and a .903 SV% across 11 appearances this season. Reimer and the Sabres enter action on Thursday at +150 on the money line.
Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen is battling a minor injury so the Sabres will turn to Reimer between the pipes on Tuesday against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The 36-year-old Reimer last played on January 25th, saving 31 of 34 shots (.912 SV%) in a 3-2 loss to the Edmonton Oilers. He has a 3.06 GAA and .894 SV% in 10 appearances this season (1-6-1). The Sabres enter Tuesday's contest as -181 home favorites against a Blue Jackets team without Zach Werenski (lower body) and Kirill Marchenko (jaw).
Reimer will make his third appearance as a Sabre when Buffalo hosts the Red Wings on Monday. It's his first start since November 30th when he allowed two goals on 19 shots in a 3-0 loss to the Islanders. The 36-year-old netminder owns an .890 SV% in four games this season split between the Ducks and the Sabres. Buffalo enters action as slight favourites on Monday at -125 on the money line.
Reimer was signed by the Anaheim Ducks in the offseason and played two games with them (0-2-0), recording a 4.50 GAA and .864 SV%. The veteran Reimer provides some goaltending depth for a Sabres club that is temporarily without starting goalie Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (undisclosed).
Reimer was claimed off waivers from Buffalo a week ago and will make his Ducks' debut on Sunday in Vegas. The 36-year-old is entering his 15th NHL season with his sixth different team. He had an 11-8-2 record with a .904 SV% and a 3.11 GAA in 25 games played in Detroit last season. He heads to Vegas to take on the undefeated Golden Knights (2-0-0), whose offence is hot, having scored 12 goals in their first six periods of hockey.
Reimer was signed by the Buffalo Sabres when free agency opened up in July but has since been placed on waivers and claimed by the Anaheim Ducks. Reimer played with the Red Wings last year, going 11-8-2 with a 3.11 GAA and .904 SV% in 25 games (20 starts).
Reimer played with the Red Wings last year, going 11-8-2 with a 3.11 GAA and .904 SV% in 25 games (20 starts). The Sabres will be Reimer's sixth team in his 15-year career, and he allows the Sabres to send Devon Levi to the AHL if they choose, as Reimer would serve as Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen's backup. If Levi remains with the Sabres, Reimer could be in the mix for starts as the team's No.3 option.
With their playoff hopes on the line, the Red Wings will turn to Reimer on the tail end of a back-to-back set against the Montreal Canadiens. Reimer has only played once this month, a 5-4 overtime win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday when he saved 32 of 36 shots (.889 SV%). The Red Wings enter action as -186 road favourites.
Reimer has backed up for the Red Wings' previous two games but will look to extend his personal three-game win streak as he takes the crease on Thursday vs. Carolina. The 36-year-old veteran has emerged as potentially Detroit's best option between the crease lately due to his 9-7-2 record, 2.98 GAA and .907 SV%. He will head to Carolina to take on the Hurricanes, who have won six of their last eight games and are fourth in the NHL in shots per game (33.1).
