Reimer gave up three goals on 33 shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer got his first action since Dec. 21, but he wasn't able to snap his skid. He's gone 0-3-1 over his last six outings. The 36-year-old netminder is down to 1-5-1 with a 3.05 GAA and an .891 save percentage through nine appearances between the Sabres and the Ducks this year. Reimer will cede the crease back to Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen for Monday's game against the Capitals.

Reimer will protect the road goal versus the Golden Knights on Saturday, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer has not started in the last five games, so he may have to shake off some rust. He's gone 1-4-1 with a 3.04 GAA and an .888 save percentage over eight outings between Anaheim and Buffalo this season. The Golden Knights have scored 25 goals over their last six games, going 5-1-0 in that span, so this will be a tough test for Reimer.

Reimer stopped 16 of 18 shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Bruins, with Boston's final goal getting scored into an empty net.
EDGE Analysis
There wasn't much Reimer could do on either goal -- Charlie Coyle got a breakaway coming out of the penalty box in the first period, and the netminder still stopped Coyle's first couple of shots before the puck got poked into the net in a scrum. Morgan Geekie's game-winner in the third then came on a blistering one-timer on a Boston power play. Reimer has seen action in three straight games, allowing three goals on 39 shots (.923 save percentage), and with Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen in a tailspin -- 0-7-2 over his last nine outings with a 4.10 GAA and .864 save percentage -- his backup could be in line for a bigger workload.

Reimer will defend the road net against Boston on Saturday, according to Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News.
EDGE Analysis
Despite a previous report, Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen won't start again, and Reimer will play in the second half of Buffalo's back-to-back following Friday's 6-3 loss to Toronto. Reimer has a 1-3-1 record with a 3.21 GAA and an .888 save percentage in seven appearances between the Ducks and Sabres this season. Boston sits 27th in the league with 2.59 goals per game in 2024-25.

Reimer stopped 14 of 15 shots in relief during Friday's 6-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer appeared in relief for the second game in a row, and he's made 20 saves on 21 shots during that span. Reimer should remain the backup behind Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, who has been struggling lately. The 36-year-old Reimer has made five appearances with the Sabres this season, going 1-1-1 with a 2.55 GAA and a .904 save percentage.

Reimer stopped all six shots faced in the third period of Tuesday's 6-1 loss to the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Montreal got to starter Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen for six goals over 26 shots through two periods and ended his night. Buffalo coach Lindy Ruff sent Reimer out for the third period. It was the netminder's fourth appearance since the Sabres claimed him off waivers Nov. 13.

Reimer made 26 saves in regulation and OT and stopped one of three shootout attempts in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Buffalo took a 5-3 lead into the third period, but Reimer couldn't make it stick, giving up two goals on 12 shots as Detroit turned up the pressure, and he then got fooled by dekes to his blocker side in the shootout by both Lucas Raymond and Dylan Larkin. Reimer is 1-1-1 in three appearances since joining the Sabres with an .892 save percentage, and he's little threat to Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen at the top of the depth chart.

Reimer will patrol the home crease Monday against the Red Wings, according to Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer's last appearance came in a 3-0 loss to the Islanders on Nov. 30. The 36-year-old conceded nine goals over two starts with Anaheim, but he's been better after being claimed off waivers by Buffalo -- he has a 1-1-0 record, 2.05 GAA and .923 save percentage through two appearances with the Sabres. Reimer has a favorable matchup against a Detroit club that ranks 29th in the NHL with 2.48 goals per game through 27 contests.

Reimer stopped 17 of 19 shots in Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Islanders. The third goal was an empty-netter with eight seconds left in the third period.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer started in the second leg of this back-to-back set, but he didn't perform at his best and had to settle for another defeat and he sits at 1-3-0 in four appearances this season. However, and despite the record, it's worth noting Reimer has posted a save percentage of at least .890 in three of his four appearances. That said, his role as the backup behind Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen limits his upside considerably.
