Reimer allowed five goals on 22 shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Blues. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer got through the first period unscathed, but the Blues torched him for four goals in the middle stanza. He's now allowed 11 goals over his last two appearances, and he has just two wins since the start of January. For the season, the 34-year-old is at 9-16-6 with a 3.35 GAA and an .892 save percentage through 31 starts. Kaapo Kahkonen has been the better in option in net lately, leaving Reimer to fill a backup role.

EDGE Analysis
Reimer has a 9-15-6 record, 3.29 GAA and .895 save percentage in 30 contests this season. He'll be looking to bounce back after surrendering six goals on 31 shots in a 6-2 loss to Nashville on Feb. 23. St. Louis has lost its last six games, which has brought its record down to 26-29-5.

Reimer allowed six goals on Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer wasn't able to follow up his shutout win Monday with another good performance, instead submitting one of his worst efforts of the campaign. The six goals allowed matched a season high. Through 30 appearances, the 34-year-old netminder is at 9-15-6 with a 3.29 GAA and an .895 save percentage. The Sharks' next game in Saturday versus the Blackhawks, which is a favorable matchup on paper, though they've been solid in recent games.

Reimer stopped 26 shots in Monday's 4-0 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
It was a sluggish start on both sides for this matinee game. The Kraken had a 26-23 edge in shots, but the Sharks were more effective with theirs, and Reimer was steady in goal to earn his second shutout of the campaign. The 34-year-old improved to 9-14-6 with a 3.20 GAA and an .898 save percentage through 29 outings. This was his first start since returning from an illness, and he'll have a little under two weeks to audition for a potential trade to a contender. If he remains in San Jose, he could be in line to start Thursday versus the Predators.

Reimer (illness) will back up Kaapo Kahkonen in Saturday's game versus the Sabres, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer has been sidelined for a week, and he'll still have to wait a while to get back in the crease. Kahkonen has played reasonably well in Reimer's absence, allowing just three goals on 51 shots. Reimer's next chance to start is Monday versus the Kraken.

Reimer (illness) is considered day-to-day, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer skated on his own following Tuesday's morning practice, so he's definitely improving, but Kaapo Kahkonen (undisclosed) and Aaron Dell will continue to serve as San Jose's top two netminders for the time being. Reimer will be reevaluated ahead of Thursday's game versus Vegas.
