Reimer saved just 26 of 30 shots during Tuesday's 7-4 win over St. Louis.
EDGE Analysis
This was Florida's fourth consecutive away game, and Reimer went 1-2-1 with an .894 save percentage and 3.57 GAA during road trip. He's handling a hefty workload with Roberto Luongo (lower body) on the shelf, and if fantasy owners are cautious with Reimer's matchups, the 29-year-old netminder can help in most fantasy settings. His recent stretch proved that it's definitely best to keep expectations in check, though.

Reimer will tend the twine Tuesday against the Blues, Doug Plagens of NHL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer has lost his last three appearances, partly due to poor play and partly due to a lack of offensive support. Over those three matchups, he posted a measly .903 save percentage combined with a 3.40 GAA, and the Panthers scored a total of five goals for him in that span. The Blues have had their fair share of struggles lately, but they're starting to turn it around, so Reimer seems to be a riskier option Tuesday night.

Reimer turned aside 46 of 48 shots in regulation and overtime, and then five of eight attempts in the shootout, in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
He kept the Panthers in the game in the third period, stopping all 11 shots he saw in the frame -- including a breakaway by Pierre-Luc Dubois after the latter stepped out of the penalty box. It's the third time this season Reimer has made more than 40 saves in a game, but despite his occasional heroics he remains inconsistent, losing three straight starts to begin January after recording two shutouts in his last three games of 2017.

Reimer will man the crease against Columbus on Sunday, David Dwork of CBS Miami reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer will start yet again for his Panthers after giving up four goals on just 19 shots in Friday's loss to the Red Wings. The 29-year-old netminder has lost his last two starts after winning five straight to close out December. Road games against the Blue Jackets and Blues likely won't be great matchups for him.

Reimer allowed four goals on just 19 shots during Friday's 4-2 loss to Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran netminder entered with a 7-4-1 record, .933 save percentage and 2.33 GAA through his previous 12 starts, so this was a disappointing showing. After all, the Red Wings are far from an admirable opponent. Still, Reimer's recent form remains encouraging for his fantasy outlook, and it's probably wise not to overreact to this underwhelming performance. It's definitely worth noting that tough road games against Columbus and St. Louis are up next for the Panthers.

Reimer will patrol the crease in Friday's road game against the Red Wings, Steve Goldstein of Fox Sports Florida reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer has been on fire recently, posting a 5-1-0 record while maintaining an outstanding 1.61 GAA and .956 save percentage through his last six appearances. The 29-year-old backstop will look to keep rolling and pick up his 12th victory of the season in a road matchup with a hot Red Wings team that's won three consecutive games.

Reimer will get the night off Thursday after the Panthers' clash with the Bruins was postponed due to weather.
EDGE Analysis
The NHL has not yet determined when the game will be made up. With the extra day of rest, it seems likely Reimer will get the nod versus the Red Wings on Friday, although the team has not provided any confirmation at this time. Fantasy owners should avoid both squads heading into Thursday's slate of games.

Reimer made 23 saves on 26 shots in Tuesday's loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer left the game for a short period after taking a hit to the head, but he returned with 5:29 remaining in the second period and was credited with the loss. It doesn't appear as if the injury is serious, which is great news considering how well he had been playing. Reimer didn't get much offensive support in the blowout loss, but he came up with some big stops and suffered just his first loss in six games. The Panthers' current starting goaltender had been red-hot entering Tuesday, so we wouldn't worry too much about the three goals he was burned for by the Wild. Look for the veteran to bounce back in his next showing.

Reimer left Tuesday's game against the Wild with a unspecified injury, Sarah McLellan of the Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer was on the ice when a Minnesota player collided with his head and bent it back. It's unclear whether it was a head or neck injury, but it's unlikely Reimer re-enters the game. Harri Sateri made his NHL debut in relief.
