James Reimer allowed two goals on 25 shots in the Maple Leafs' 2-1 loss to the Sharks Thursday night.
Reimer was one of the main reasons Toronto managed to claw their way back into the playoff race last season but the Leafs will need more consistent goaltending down the stretch this season if they want to hold on to a playoff spot. It's been hard for Reimer to prove that what he accomplished last season wasn't a fluke but "Optimus Reim" will have first crack in nets for these important games and we shall see if he is able to rekindle his second half magic again this year. Furthermore, "The Monster" keeps losing ground to Reimer. After an impressive run of play in the month of January, Gustavsson has now gone 0-3-1 in his past four starts. However, he could get the next start between the pipes.
