Reimer allowed five goals on 28 shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
The Sharks' losing streak reached 10 games Sunday, with Reimer responsible for six of them (0-3-3). This was his worst appearance in the stretch, and he's allowed 19 goals during the skid. The 34-year-old is down to 18-16-9 with a 2.84 GAA and a .912 save percentage through 45 outings this season. Neither Reimer nor Kaapo Kahkonen has been that inspiring lately, but whoever starts Tuesday will have a favorable matchup against the Blue Jackets.

Reimer stopped 28 of 32 shots through overtime in Thursday's 5-4 shootout loss to Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Alex DeBrincat was a thorn in Reimer's side all night, assisting on three of Chicago's four goals before scoring the only shootout goal for either team. This result stretched Reimer's winless streak to five games -- the veteran netminder's 0-3-2 record in that stretch has dropped his season record to 18-16-8.

Reimer will guard the road goal during Thursday's matchup with the Blackhawks, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer was decent in his last start last Thursday against the Flames, turning aside 32 of 35 shots, but he ultimately came away with a loss due to insufficient goal support from his teammates. He'll try to snap his personal four-game losing streak in a favorable road matchup with a struggling Chicago squad that's lost eight straight contests.

Reimer (undisclosed) will back up Kaapo Kahkonen on Saturday versus Vancouver, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer exited Thursday's game versus Calgary in the third period with an undisclosed injury, but whatever forced him from that contest evidently wasn't overly serious. The 34-year-old goaltender could be back between the pipes as soon as Tuesday versus the Predators.

Reimer (undisclosed) left Thursday's game versus the Flames in the third period, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer went down in his crease midway through the third period and was unable to continue in the contest. He allowed three goals on 35 shots prior to his exit, but he'll take the loss if the Sharks are unable to score a third goal. If Reimer has to miss time, Kaapo Kahkonen figures to see a bump in playing time. After the game, head coach Bob Bougher relayed that Reimer is likely to be okay, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now. It's unknown if he'll be healthy enough to at least back up Saturday versus the Canucks.

Reimer will guard the home goal during Thursday's clash with Calgary, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer has been pretty sharp recently, having maintained a 1.81 GAA and a .923 save percentage through his last two starts, but he's suffered back-to-back losses over that span due to a lack of goal support from his teammates. He'll try to snap his personal three-game losing streak in a home matchup with a Flames team that's 21-11-2 on the road this year.

Reimer allowed two goals on 24 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer had to protect a 1-0 lead for much of the contest. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins equalized for the Oilers in the third period, sending the game to overtime, where Mike Smith made a big save and set up Connor McDavid's game-winner. This was Reimer's third straight loss, though he's allowed just seven goals in that span. The 34-year-old is now at 18-15-7 with a 2.75 GAA and a .915 save percentage in 42 appearances. Another tough matchup awaits Thursday versus the Flames for either Reimer or Kaapo Kahkonen.

Reimer will get the starting nod for Tuesday's home matchup with Edmonton, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer was saddled with a defeat against Dallas on Saturday despite giving up just one goal on 15 shots in a relief appearance. With little to play for this season, the Sharks will likely continue to split the starts between Reimer and trade-deadline acquisition Kaapo Kahkonen to try to evaluate who might enter the 2022-23 campaign as the presumptive starter.

Reimer allowed four goals on 23 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Coyotes. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
EDGE Analysis
Two of the tallies came on turnovers by the Sharks' defense, so the blame isn't fully on Reimer for this loss. The 34-year-old saw his three-game winning streak come to an end Wednesday. He's now at 18-14-6 with a 2.79 GAA and a .915 save percentage through 40 appearances. Kaapo Kahkonen is already confirmed to start Thursday's road game versus the Avalanche, so Reimer's next chance to start is back in San Jose on Saturday versus the Stars.
