Reimer (lower body) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Coyotes, George Richards of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The non-contact nature of Reimer's injury is concerning, but there's still no report on the severity of his condition. Roberto Luongo will finish out the game. Luongo will likely start Thursday versus the Golden Knights, and if Reimer isn't ready for this weekend's back-to-back games starting Saturday versus the Hurricanes, the team could recall and start Samuel Montembeaul in the blue paint.

Reimer (undisclosed) exited Tuesday's game versus the Coyotes with an injury, Dave Vest of the Coyotes' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
It appears this was a non-contact injury. Reimer stopped all 10 shots before departing, and Roberto Luongo will replace him in goal. If Reimer's injury will keep him off the bench in for Thursday's game versus the Golden Knights, the Panthers will need to recall a netminder from AHL Springfield. Samuel Montembeault appears to be next in line.

Reimer will defend the road net in Tuesday's game versus the Coyotes, Doug Plagens of The Panthers Radio Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer has been inconsistent lately with a .903 save percentage over the last five outings, and his game has been even worse on the road where he has an .889 save percentage. The 30-year-old backstop is tough to depend on, and the Coyotes are starting to pick up some steam with three straight wins and 10 total goals in that span. Fantasy owners should proceed with caution.

Reimer turned aside just 21 of 25 shots in Thursday's 4-3 loss to Carolina.
EDGE Analysis
Three goals in a 4:15 stretch gave the Panthers a 3-2 lead entering the third period, but Reimer promptly coughed up a pair of power-play goals in the first 2:15 of the final frame to come away with the loss. This poor performance stunts the momentum Reimer had built up with wins in each of his previous three starts.

Reimer will patrol the blue paint in Thursday's home game against the Hurricanes, George Richards of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Panthers are riding the hot hand, as Reimer has won three straight games, and you'd have to go all the way back to Jan. 15 to see the last time he allowed more than three goals in a single contest. Reimer will be challenged by a Hurricanes team that ranks No. 1 overall in shots on goal (35.4 per game), though only 11 clubs have had a tougher time putting the puck in the net than Carolina this season.

Reimer held the Sabres to two goals on 34 shots Tuesday, earning a 4-2 win.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer's now won three in a row in the past six days and hasn't given up more than three goals in any of those three contests. Outside of an awful Feb. 10 against Tampa Bay, he's played very well on this lengthy Florida homestand.

Reimer will tend the twine for Tuesday's home tilt versus Buffalo, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Roberto Luongo away from the team for personal reasons, Reimer figures to see the bulk of the starts until the veteran returns. Looking ahead to the rest of the season, the two tenders will likely split the workload even as a playoff spot appears to be slipping away.

Reimer stopped 28 of 31 shots in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Florida helped its goaltender by jumping out to 2-0 and 3-1 leads in the opening period but afforded the Habs enough opportunities whereby they were able to tie the game early in the second period. Aleksandar Barkov then took over Sunday's contest, winding up with a hat trick on a game-high seven shots. It's now back-to-back wins for Reimer, improving his record to 12-10-5 with a 3.05 GAA and .901 save percentage.

Reimer will defend the home twine in Sunday's game versus the Canadiens, George Richards of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Roberto Luongo on leave due to a death in his family, Reimer will patrol the blue paint for the second straight game. He's been solid since the All-Star break with a .927 save percentage, although his 2-2-0 record isn't as flattering. Montreal enters this contest at 17th in the league with 2.95 goals per game and the second-worst power play at 13.1 percent.

Reimer made 41 saves in a 3-2 win over the Flames on Thursday night.
EDGE Analysis
Optimus Reims was dialled in Thursday and helped his kitties break a two-game skid. Those 41 saves were a season high. Reimer has been below average in his outings this season. In eight starts in 2019, he is 3-3-2. He's 3-0 in games where he has allowed two or fewer goals. But is 0-3-2 in games where he has allowed three or more goals. You get the point. You're rolling the dice with Reimer when you put him out there. But give him Thursday -- that was sweet.
