Reimer was the first goalie off of the ice at the Hurricanes morning skate.

Reimer was pulled after allowing three goals on seven shots in the Hurricanes 8-6 loss in Toronto on Monday afternoon. It was Reimer's first tough outing since early-November, but the Hurricanes will give him a chance to bounce back right after the Christmas break. He is 8-3-0 with a 2.33 GAA and .927 SV% on the road this year.

Reimer starts Thursday in Colorado.

Reimer stopped all 32 shots that he faced in the Hurricanes shutout win in Calgary last Saturday. Petr Mrazek started in Winnipeg on Tuesday but look for Reimer to start for the sixth time in the last 12 games. Reimer has been terrific in his previous five starts, going 4-1-0 while posting a 1.41 GAA, .956 SV% and two shutouts. He gets set to face a Colorado team that played last night but have won nine of their last 11 (9-1-1) while averaging 3.82 goals per game.

Ullmark will start Tuesday in Toronto.

Ullmark allowed three goals on 26 shots in the Sabres' loss to the Islanders on Saturday. The loss snapped a three-game winning streak for Ullmark, who will make his fifth straight start tonight in Toronto. In his first start against the Maple Leafs, Ullmark allowed four goals on 29 shots in a 6-4 win (Nov.29) but this time he will not be going head-to-head with Michael Hutchinson.

Reimer led the Hurricanes onto the ice for warmups.

Reimer allowed three goals on 36 shots in the Hurricanes win in Edmonton on Tuesday. Reimer has won four of his last five starts while posting a 2.01 GAA, .938 SV% and one shutout. He has gone 6-3-0 with a 2.41 GAA and .924 SV% on the road this year but the Flames come in riding a seven-game winning streak, so Reimer is a risky option.

Reimer is the confirmed starter in Edmonton.

Reimer gave up two goals on 34 shots in the Hurricanes loss in Boston last Tuesday. Petr Mrazek has started the last two games but it looks as if Reimer will start Tuesday in Edmonton. Reimer is 3-1-0 with a 1.75 GAA, .944 SV% and one shutout in his last four starts and gets set to face an Oilers team that has lost four of their last five home games.

Ullmark will start Tuesday vs. the Blues.

Ullmark allowed two goals on 28 shots in the Sabres win in Edmonton on Sunday. Ullmark has won three of his last four starts while posting a 2.77 GAA and .916 SV%. With Carter Hutton continuing to struggle, Ullmark's workload continues to increase. He is 4-2-1 with a 2.56 GAA and .921 SV% on home-ice and the Blues come in at 8-1-2 while scoring 3.09 goals per game in their last 11 road games.

The Blackhawks have recalled Dennis Gilbert from Rockford (AHL).

Gilbert could dress as a seventh defenseman if Dylan Strome (concussion) can't play on Thursday but could be the extra defenseman during their two-game road-trip if Strome is good-to-go in Boston. The 23-year-old has no points in three NHL games this season and just two assists in 11 AHL games this season.

Reimer will start Tuesday in Boston.

Reimer allowed two goals on 38 shots in the Hurricanes win in Tampa Bay on Saturday night. All of a sudden, Reimer has won three consecutive games while stopping 87 of the 92 shots (.946 SV%) that he has faced. I don't care how good he's been as of late, you don't start Reimer in Boston. They have not lost in regulation in that building this season, so hard pass.

Ullmark led the Sabres onto the ice for warmups.

Ullmark allowed four goals on 29 shots in the Sabres' win over the Maple Leafs on Friday. Carter Hutton was handed the loss in Toronto on Saturday, so they'll come back to Ullmark on Monday night. He was the better of the two in November but still wasn't great, going 3-4-1 with a 3.29 GAA and .894 SV% in eight outings. He hasn't been great but draws a nice matchup on Monday--New Jersey has lost four of their last six (2-4-0) while scoring 2.50 goals per game.
