Reimer was replaced by Roberto Luongo with 3:28 left in the second period of Saturday's 5-1 loss to Boston. He allowed five goals on 22 shots.

EDGE Analysis

It was his 300th NHL game. The Panthers scored first, but that was it. They were dominated and Reimer performed well, all things considering. He was replaced by Roberto Luongo.

Reimer will start in goal against host Boston on Saturday, Doug Plagens of the Panthers Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Reimer's five-game winning streak was snapped by Ottawa on Thursday, as the Senators got the best of him in overtime. Still, the Canadian backstop has proven that he's one of the more valuable backups in the league based on a 20-13-6 record with four shutouts through 41 games. Riemer reportedly will be countered by Boston's chief netminder Tuukka Rask in the upcoming contest.

Reimer made 27 saves on 30 shots in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Senators on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Reimer had won his previous five starts, and he only allowed five goals total in those outings. This was clearly a step down in terms of performance, and the loss is rough as the Panthers are fighting for a playoff spot. Roberto Luongo has been struggling recently, so it's possible Reimer will get more action down the stretch.

Reimer will tend the twine against the Senators on Thursday, Matthew DeFranks of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Reimer has given up just five goals in his previous five outings (all wins). While coach Bob Boughner has stated his intention to give Roberto Luongo the bulk of the starts, one has to imagine Reimer is making a strong case for a more even division of labor between the pipes.

Reimer made 32 saves in Monday's 3-0 win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

It's his 20th win and fourth shutout of the season, tying his previous career highs in both categories. Reimer has also won five straight starts in March, posting a stellar .970 save percentage on the month as he helps keep the Panthers alive in the playoff race.

Reimer will start in goal on the road Monday night against the Islanders, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Reimer reportedly will be countered by rookie Christopher Gibson. Florida's traditional backup has won four straight games to give the Panthers real hope of securing a playoff berth. The Islanders are currently in a three-way tie with the Predators and Avalanche in the scoring department to rank seventh at 3.2 goals per game. This is certainly a tough challenge for Reimer, but coach Bob Boughner seemingly wants to ease No. 1 backstop Roberto Luongo back into the starting mix since he's been dealing with an upper-body issue.

Reimer allowed two goals on 28 shots in a 4-2 victory over the Coyotes on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old goaltender has responded extremely well since allowing seven goals in a start on Feb. 18. Over his last four starts, he is 4-0-0 with a .963 save percentage. That's as good as owners are going to find from a backup goaltender over the last month, and Reimer could see more time down the stretch since Roberto Luongo hasn't been able to stay healthy this season.

Reimer has received the starting nod for Saturday's home game against the Coyotes, Matthew DeFranks of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Panthers will defer to Reimer since Roberto Luongo (upper body) is "banged up," according to DeFranks, who is relaying this information from Panthers coach Bob Boughner. Reimer has only appeared in three games this month, but he skated away with victories each time. Florida's backup has already been sent between the pipes 38 times this season due to Luongo's inability to stay healthy. The 30-year-old will look to stay hot against a Coyotes team that ranks 30th in scoring and is actually positioned no better than 24th in any of the standard offensive categories.

Reimer made 33 saves in Tuesday's 7-2 rout of the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Reimer benefited from Ottawa's defensive deficiencies, as his offense made life easy by scoring two goals in the opening frame and four more in the second. Roberto Luongo's undoubtedly the starter in Florida given his stellar recent form, but Reimer continues to step up when called upon. He's won each of his past three starts while allowing a total of three goals over that span.

Reimer has received the starting nod for Tuesday's game against the Senators in Ottawa, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official sitereports.

EDGE Analysis

Reimer's opportunities in the crease have been few an far between since Roberto Luongo returned in mid-February. Tuesday marks just Reimer's fourth start since then, but another strong outing could put him in a position to earn a few more looks between the posts. Reimer has allowed only one goal combined in his last two efforts and will be tasked with setting aside pucks from a Senators club that he shut out in his only other start against earlier this season.
