Reimer (groin) participated in practice Wednesday for the first time since re-aggravating his groin injury in early December, Jonas Siegel of TSN 1050 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Reimer took a big step in the recovery process by returning to practice Wednesday, but the team will likely continue to bring him along slowly to prevent re-injury. The netminder's next shot to rejoin the lineup would come Thursday against the Rangers, but that seems like an improbable outcome. However, if he can avoid re-aggravation this time around, it may not be too long before he's able to return to the crease.
