Reimer allowed six goals on 38 shots in Tuesday's 7-3 loss to the Flames. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer fared well against the Coyotes and the Kings after returning from a lower-body injury, but the Flames had no trouble exploiting his tendency to give up big rebounds. They scored twice in the first 30 seconds and rallied in the last 10 minutes of the game to run away with the contest. The tough loss dropped Reimer to 6-9-3 with a 3.04 GAA and a .903 save percentage in 18 appearances. The Sharks' last game before the holiday break is Thursday versus the Wild.

Reimer stopped 39 of 41 shots in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer was probably the only reason the Sharks were able to get a point out of this game. While he didn't get the win, it was a strong showing for the 34-year-old in his second game back from a lower-body injury. He's now at 6-8-3 with a 2.86 GAA and a .907 save percentage through 17 starts this season. Reimer remains the Sharks' top option in goal, though playing for such a weak team will limit his chances to pick up wins. He'll cede the crease to Kaapo Kahkonen versus the Flames on Sunday, though Reimer could get Tuesday's rematch.

Reimer stopped 20 of 22 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer missed the last seven games with a lower-body injury. He was able to snap his three-game losing streak, though it was a fairly soft landing spot for his return to face the Coyotes. The 34-year-old improved to 6-8-2 with a 2.93 GAA and a .903 save percentage in 16 starts this season. Reimer should have the edge for starts going forward, as Kaapo Kahkonen mostly struggled in his absence, though it's possible the Sharks split the workload to ease Reimer back into action.

Reimer will start between the pipes in Tuesday's home game versus the Coyotes, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer has been sidelined since Nov. 25 with a lower-body issue, so he might have some rust to shake off early on Tuesday. He'll try to secure his sixth win of the season in a home matchup with an Arizona team that's averaging just 2.70 goals per game on the road this year, 24th in the NHL.

Reimer (lower body) has been placed on injured reserve Monday, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer is still expected to join the team for its four-game road trip and could be cleared in time to face either Ottawa or Buffalo on Saturday or Sunday, respectively. With Reimer unavailable for at least the next two contests, both Kaapo Kahkonen and Aaron Dell should see opportunities to start.
