• Sabres' James Reimer: Signs one-year deal

  07/02/2024 • By RotoWire

  Reimer inked a one-year, $1 million contract with Buffalo on Tuesday. 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.

  04/17/2024 • By RotoWire

  Reimer stopped 29 shots in regulation and overtime and all three shootout attempts he faced in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Canadiens. 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 likely head into the offseason in search of a backup role with another club as a free agent.

• Red Wings' James Reimer: Puts on show against Leafs

  04/14/2024 • By RotoWire

  Reimer made 32 saves in a 5-4 overtime win over Toronto on Saturday. It was his 500th NHL game and first start since March 28. Reimer surrendered Auston Matthews' 69th goal, which tied Mario Lemieux's mark from 1995-96, but the veteran netminder put on a show in the third with several huge saves to ensure overtime. The Wings stayed in contention for a wild-card spot with the win, but Detroit has lost seven of its 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 crucial games.
