Reimer has been confirmed to start Friday against the Devils, Paul Hendrick of Leafs TV reports.
Jonathan Bernier turned in a rough outing Tuesday against the Predators and missed time during the game due to a cut on his leg, so the Leafs will turn to Reimer on Friday as a measure to afford Bernier some added rest. Bernier will be healthy enough to back up Reimer and is expected to reclaim the net Saturday, when the Leafs will take on the Oilers. For those playing in daily formats, Reimer would seem to be a decent play Friday, despite his own team being mired in a 10-game losing streak. The Devils rank 28th in the NHL in scoring (2.20 goals per game) and 29th in shot attempts (24.3 per game).
