James Reimer stopped 26 of 30 shots in Toronto's 4-1 loss to Boston on Saturday.
It was Reimer's first game since he sustained a concussion on October 22nd. Unfortunately, his presence wasn't enough for the Leafs to slow down the Boston Bruins, who have now won 13 of their last 14 contests. Reimer turned aside all 10 Bruins shots in the first period, but he allowed two goals in each of the final two frames.

James Reimer (concussion) has been given the green light to return to the Maple Leafs' lineup.
Barring something unexpected happening, Reimer will serve as Jonas Gustavsson's backup on Saturday. This is fantastic news for the Leafs, as Gustavsson and Ben Scrivens have been shaky in Reimer's absence.

James Reimer is getting close to returning to Toronto's lineup from concussion-like symptoms.
He isn't expected to play in either of the team's games against the Bruins, but he will probably serve as Jonas Gustavsson's backup on Saturday in Boston. "Nothing is bothering me out there," Reimer said following Tuesday's practice. "It's just a matter of getting my timing back. They (coaches) are watching me stop pucks. They know when I'm on. When they feel I'm ready, then I'll go."

James Reimer is projected to miss at least another 10 days, as he continues to recover from concussion-like symptoms.
The Leafs want to be patient with their number one goaltender. "This is a process so let's not rush it," said coach Ron Wilson on Thursday. "When we want him to go in there we want him to be 100 percent in terms of stopping the puck and in terms of conditioning and all of that. He won't go in until he's ready." Reimer has been sidelined since Oct. 22, but he has been making some headway on the ice at practice recently.

James Reimer (whiplash) is on the ice Tuesday for the fifth consecutive day.
The Leafs top goaltender has been out of action since October 22, but five straight days of skating and practicing has to be great news for all. Some people think that Reimer suffered a concussion but the Maple Leafs continue to say that the injury is a whiplash. He has a 2.58 GAA and a .912 save percentage in six games. He could return as early as the weekend but the Leafs will err on the side of caution if he is not 100 percent. Stay tuned.
