Reimer will guard the home net in Sunday's game versus the Panthers, Michael Smith of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Reimer and Alex Nedeljkovic continue to alternate in the blue paint with Petr Mrazek (thumb) still out. The 32-year-old Reimer has put together a strong month, recording a .916 save percentage and a 5-2-0 record. He should have a busy day, as the Panthers lead the league with 34.6 shots per game and rank fifth with 3.35 goals per game.

Reimer stopped 36 of 38 shots in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

While Reimer lost his shutout bid with two goals against in a span of 2:17 during the third period, he held on late to maintain the win. The 32-year-old improved to 10-3-0 with a 2.90 GAA and a .902 save percentage in 13 games. It's important for Reimer to put in good work, as Petr Mrazek (thumb) is nearing a return March 7 versus the Panthers. Once Mrazek is back, Reimer will likely have to settle for a timeshare in the crease.

EDGE Analysis

Reimer was decent in his last start Saturday against the Panthers, stopping 28 of 31 shots en route to a 4-3 victory. The 32-year-old backstop will attempt to secure his 10th win of the season in a road matchup with a Nashville team that's only averaging 2.29 goals per game this campaign, 28th in the NHL.

Reimer kicked out 28 shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win against Florida.

EDGE Analysis

Reimer and the Hurricanes saw a 2-0 lead evaporate midway through the third period, then lost a 3-2 edge with 1:54 left in regulation. Reimer was perfect in overtime, however, and came up with shootout stops on Jonathan Huberdeau, Frank Vatrano and Alexander Wennberg to snap his brief two-game losing skid. The 32-year-old is now 8-3-0 with an underwhelming 2.99 GAA and .897 save percentage.

EDGE Analysis

Reimer's backup, Alex Nedeljkovic, put together two solid starts against the Lightning over the last week, including a 24-save shutout. In turn, Reimer needs a strong effort Saturday to fend off any goalie competition. The 32-year-old has recorded an .897 save percentage and 2.99 GAA through 11 appearances. The Panthers have won five of their past seven games while averaging 3.4 goals per contest.

Reimer made 19 saves Thursday in a 3-1 loss to Tampa Bay. He allowed two goals.

EDGE Analysis

He wasn't that busy, but was solid. The goals that got past were great shots, including a near perfect shot by Yanni Gourde in the third that nicked the crossbar and far post before tickling the twine. Reimer has lost the last two games against Tampa, but is 8-3 in 10 starts this season. Still, that win-loss record hides some very pedestrian ratios and this was his first game in nine starts that he allowed fewer than three goals in a game. You may want to look at peddling Reimer in a trade based on that 8-3 record. We like Optimus Reims, but he may not be the goalie you win with.

EDGE Analysis

Reimer drew the start against the Lightning on Monday, turning aside 28 of 31 shots in the 4-2 loss. Reimer has been outstanding otherwise this season, racking up an 8-2-0 record to go along with a 3.08 GAA and .896 save percentage. Reimer will face a tough test against a Tampa Bay offense that is second in the league in goals per game this season (3.59).

Reimer turned aside 28 of 31 shots in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Tampa's final goal was scored into an empty net. While he didn't play that badly, Reimer saw his personal four-game win streak snapped, and even with Petr Mrazek (thumb) sidelined, the 32-year-old has found himself in a timeshare with Alex Nedeljkovic rather than fully assuming the mantle of Carolina's No. 1 netminder. On the season, Reimer is 8-2-0 despite a less flattering 3.08 GAA and .896 save percentage.

Reimer will be between the pipes at home versus Tampa Bay on Monday, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Reimer is riding a four-game winning streak despite recording a 3.50 GAA and .891 save percentage over that stretch. The 32-year-old netminder figures to continue splitting the workload with youngster Alex Nedeljkovic, at least until Petr Mrazek (thumb) is cleared to play.

Reimer stopped 26 shots in Friday's 5-3 win over Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

It wasn't the sharpest performance by the 32-year-old netminder, but the Carolina offense once again gave Reimer more than enough support. He's now 8-1-0 on the season with wins in four straight starts thanks to the team's goal-scoring prowess, but Reimer's 3.08 GAA and .896 save percentage are far from impressive.
