Reimer stopped 37 of 38 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Rangers in Game 3.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer was a wall in net, with only Chris Kreider's tally 12 seconds into the second period breaking through. The 32-year-old Reimer isn't expected to see the majority of the time in goal -- Petr Mrazek appears to be the preferred starter. Reimer had a 2.66 GAA and a .914 save percentage in 25 contests in 2019-20.

Reimer will start between the pipes for Tuesday's Game 3 matchup against the Rangers, Michael Smith of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 32-year-old will make his first start of the season's restart after Petr Mrazek backstopped back-to-back wins for the Hurricanes. During the regular season, Reimer went 14-6-2 along with a 2.66 GAA and .914 save percentage across 25 games. Coach Rod Brind'Amour admitted he wants to keep both goalies fresh with short time between games, so Reimer will look to carry the team to a qualifying-round sweep Tuesday.

Reimer (lower body) is healthy and available once the NHL season resumes. Coach Rod Brind'Amour told reporters, "He was probably a week away, and Petr (Mrazek) was back, so we've got those guys back, which is good," Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer had been traveling with the team prior to the league stoppage, which was certainly a good sign. If the league resumes a portion of the regular season, the netminder could share the early workload with Mrazek, though in a "direct to playoffs" scenario, Reimer probably wouldn't see much ice the rest of the way.

Reimer (lower body) joined the Canes on the road for the last two games of their trip, Michael Smith of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer's status versus Detroit and New Jersey on Tuesday and Thursday, respectively, remains up in the air, but the fact that he is with the team bodes well for his recovery. Even once cleared to play, the Manitoba native may be hard-pressed to pull starts away from Petr Mrazek (concussion), who is also nearing a return to action.

Reimer (lower body) isn't expected to suit up in Sunday's road clash against Pittsburgh, Michael Smith of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old has sat out the past five games with the lower-body issue after a collision that forced him to leave the game Feb. 22 against Toronto. With fellow netminder Petr Mrazek (concussion) also set to miss more time, Alex Nedeljkovic is expected to draw the start Sunday with Anton Forsberg set to backup.

Head coach Rod Brind'Amour said Reimer (lower body) is expected to be out awhile, Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer was injured after a collision in front of the net in the first period of Saturday's game against the Maple Leafs. Based on Brind'Amour's post-game comments, it seems like the 31-year-old could missed an extended amount of time. With Petr Mrazek (upper body) also hurt Saturday, the Hurricanes may have to call up Alex Nedeljkovic or Anton Forsberg from AHL Charlotte ahead of Tuesday's game against the Stars.

Reimer sustained a lower-body injury in Saturday's game against the Maple Leafs and will not return, Michael Smith of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer was shaken up in a collision in front of the net during the first period. He was able to continue but eventually was forced to leave, replaced by Petr Mrazek. Because the game was tied when he departed, Reimer's record will be unaffected by Saturday's outcome.

Reimer will get the road start Saturday versus the Maple Leafs, NHL.com's Dave McCarthy reports.
EDGE Analysis
In the second game of back-to-back outings, Reimer will get the nod against the team that drafted him in 2006. The veteran netminder enters the game in a bit of a rough stretch, allowing three goals in four straight games while posting an .885 save percentage. However, he won each contest, and he may need similar offensive support, as Toronto ranks 10th with 3.39 goals per home game.

Reimer made 20 saves in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old goalie didn't make any glaring errors, but he maybe got caught too deep in his own net in OT, allowing Josh Archibald to find plenty of space to tuck home the winner. Reimer still hasn't lost in regulation in the new year, going 6-0-2 in his last eight starts, and on the season he sports a 2.67 GAA and .914 save percentage.

Reimer will draw the start for Sunday's home contest versus Edmonton, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer will guard the cage for the first time in the past two games, as he's gone 4-0-1 along with a 2.66 GAA and .918 save percentage in his past five starts. The 31-year-old has been outstanding against the Oilers in his career, going 7-2-2 along with a 2.67 GAA and .915 save percentage. He and the Hurricanes will catch a break Sunday, as Oilers star Connor McDavid (lower body) is out.
