Reimer will start in goal Saturday evening against the visiting Canucks, George Richards of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer will have drawn into all three games for the Panthers so far, as 39-year-old backstop Roberto Luongo will miss 2-to-4 weeks with an MCL strain. Vancouver currently ranks 28th in the league by means of averaging 24 shots per game in the infancy of the 2018-19 campaign, but rookie sensation Elias Pettersson already has seven points through four games for the Canucks, so Reimer will have to keep close tabs on him in this one.

Reimer made 27 saves in a 5-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
It was his first start following Roberto Luongo's injury. Reimer had a 4-3 lead heading into the third period, but couldn't hold it. He has the ability to go on strong streaks, but needs to tighten his game up fast. Michael Hutchinson waits in the wings and the Panthers won't want to get a slow start to the season.

Reimer will defender the cage for Thursday's home clash with Columbus, George Richards of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer will make his first start of the season after coming into the opener in relief of an injured Roberto Luongo (knee). With Luongo out 2-4 weeks, the 30-year-old Reimer will see the bulk of the workload and should only concede starts to Michael Hutchinson in back-to-backs.

Reimer will be the Panther's starter as Roberto Luongo sits for 2-4 weeks due to an MCL strain.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer was forced to come in off the bench after Luongo suffered an injury halfway through the second period during Saturday's 2-1 loss to Tampa Bay. He managed to save 15 of 16 shots in relief before the team lost in the shootout. Going forward Reimer will be looking at more consistent starts until Luongo is healthy again. Michael Hutchinson was recalled from AHL Springfield to serve as his backup.

Reimer will draw his second consecutive preseason start Tuesday, this time taking on the Lightning in an away game.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer owns suspect ratios through two games this preseason (3.50 GAA and an .857 save percentage) but he helped the Panthers to a 4-3 overtime win over the Stars on Saturday. Oddly enough, Florida plays four consecutive games against the Bolts, including the Oct. 6 regular-season home opener.

Reimer will start Saturday's game against the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer will be in net for this neutral-site contest in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He's locked into a timeshare with the ageless Roberto Luongo heading into the season.

Reimer will be the home starter versus the Predators in the second half of Monday's doubleheader.
EDGE Analysis
Michael Hutchinson got the start in the first half, but the name missing here is obviously Roberto Luongo. Luongo remains the usual starter for the Panthers, at least when the games count, so Reimer needs to do his best to stave off Hutchinson for the backup role.

Reimer left Sunday's tilt against Boston midway through the third period with an apparent injury, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Following a busy section in the Florida defensive end, Reimer needed assistance from the trainer and after a conference on the ice, he left the game to be attended to in the dressing room. It's unclear the play that caused the injury or the severity, but Roberto Luongo came in for relief. More information should be released by the team in the upcoming days, but with this being the last game of the season for Florida, the 30-year-old could have been taken out as a safety precaution.

Reimer will guard the cage Sunday against Boston, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Florida being eliminated from postseason contention Saturday, this will be Reimer's last start and appearance of 2017-18. Although Reimer's just recorded a .912 save percentage on the season, he's improved his game since the start of March, posting a 2.08 GAA and 6-1-1 record in his last eight appearances. On the other side, Boston needs a win to clinch the first seed in the Eastern Conference and also average 3.27 goals per game (sixth in the NHL), meaning life certainly won't be easy for the 30-year-old at TD Garden.

Reimer will be the home starter against the Sabres on Saturday, Mike Harrington of TBN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is notable, because earlier in the day it was declared that Roberto Luongo would get the start. However, the Flyers then proceeded to trounce the Rangers and eliminate the Panthers from the postseason. Now, they've decided to give Reimer the start. The 30-year-old has struggled to the tune of a 3.00 GAA and .911 save percentage, but there is reason for hope tonight. The Sabres have scored a meager 2.41 goals per game, lowest in the NHL.
