Reimer replaced Roberto Luongo in the second period of Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Penguins. He allowed a goal on 15 shots.
EDGE Analysis
The loss will not be credited to Reimer, who replaced Luongo after Flordia's starter was beaten four times on 16 shots. With Florida set to play Thursday and Friday, expect Reimer to get the starting nod for one of those contests.

Reimer will start in goal Saturday evening against the visiting Blue Jackets, George Richards of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer is in the midst of a season-best stretch, crafting an active three-game winning streak with a skinny 1.45 GAA and correspondingly impressive .947 save percentage over that span. He will now take aim at a Blue Jackets team that averages 3.26 goals per game on the road -- seventh in the NHL.

Reimer was a perfect 12-for-12 on save opportunities in Monday's 4-3 shootout road win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Panthers coach Bob Boughner saw enough of Roberto Luongo after he allowed three first-period goals, so he replaced him with Reimer, which turned out to by the right call. The 30-year-old wasn't among the three stars of the game, but he made a key save on Gustav Nyquist in the skills competition and teammate Jonathan Huberdeau subsequently dangled around Jimmy Howard to help the Manitoban to his third straight win. What a fine way for Reimer to close out 2018.

Reimer will be the home starter for Saturday's game versus the Flyers, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer has not handled December well, as he has an .857 save percentage and 4.26 GAA through four appearances. He draws the start on the second half of back-to-back games and will face off against opposing goalie Carter Hart, a 20-year-old rookie who has adjusted quickly to the NHL. Reimer's struggles don't make him an appealing fantasy option, although Philadelphia ranks middle of the pack with 2.97 goals per game.

Reimer stopped 26 of 29 shots in Sunday's 6-3 win over Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer made the save of the night when he robbed Brendan Perlini to keep the game knotted at 0-0 in the first period. Despite getting the win and improving his record to 6-7-3 with a 3.45 GAA and .888 save percentage, Reimer remains a risky fantasy play as he's struggled for the better part of 2018-19, and is on pace to set new career-worst marks for both save percentage and goals against.

Reimer will patrol the crease for Sunday's contest against the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer will make his first start since Dec. 13 where the Wild beat him five times on just 26 shots. The 30-year-old is 5-7-3 in 19 appearances and has posted career lows in GAA (3.48) and save percentage (.888) so far this season. He hasn't done much to warrant more regular starts and his fantasy value is suffering from it.

Reimer allowed one goal on four shots in a 6-1 road loss to the Maple Leafs on Thursday, spelling Roberto Luongo in relief action.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer permitted a power-play goal from Mitch Marner, but not before Luongo coughed up five goals of his own through 45:41 of crease time. The Panthers are sitting at the bottom of the Atlantic Division and neither netminder should be used as a No. 1 in season-long fantasy leagues.

Reimer allowed five goals on 26 shots in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
The Panthers aren't getting strong production out of either goaltender at the moment, as Reimer didn't do much with his opportunity to spell a slumping Roberto Luongo. Any hopes Florida had of erasing a 3-1 deficit to open the third period were quickly dashed by two Wild goals in the first 3:51 of the final frame.

Reimer will tend the twine Thursday against the Wild in Minneapolis, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer has sat on the bench for each of the last four starts, but he gets another look in the crease Thursday after veteran Roberto Luongo posted allowed four goals in each of the last three contests. The Wild own a plus-13 goal differential on the home ice sheet, so a tough task awaits Reimer.

Reimer will guard the cage in Saturday's home game against the Lightning, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer was solid in his last start, stopping 22 of 24 shots en route to a 3-2 victory over the Sabres on Friday. The 30-year-old netminder will look to stay sharp and pick up his sixth victory of the campaign in a tough home matchup with a Tampa Bay team that's 7-3-1 on the road this season.
