Reimer will tend the twine Tuesday against Arizona, Steve Goldstein of Fox Sports Florida reports.
EDGE Analysis
December has been up and down for Reimer, posting a 2-3-3 record with a 3.09 GAA and .909 save percentage in eight appearances. However, he's faced 28 or more shots in seven of those outings, and a matchup against the Coyotes' troubled offense should bump up Reimer's value. Although the Panthers are on a three-game losing streak, this looks like a good chance to steal a win and Reimer's price is low enough in daily leagues to make for a solid value stream.

Reimer stopped 35 of 38 shots in Sunday's loss to the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer has been great at times this season, but victories are hard to come by on a struggling Florida squad. He was the much-busier goaltender Sunday, but this marks the second consecutive start he's played well in yet come up empty. The 29-year-old owns a 6-9-4 record with a .898 save percentage, making him a tough play in fantasy. Considering the Panthers have managed just two wins since the start of December, Reimer likely doesn't make for an adequate fantasy start right now.

Reimer will guard the cage for Sunday's tilt against Vegas, Doug Plagens of NHL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
This will mark the eighth straight start for Reimer but he's been shaky throughout that stretch posting a 3.10 GAA and .907 save percentage, and going back further Reimer has allowed three or more goals in 11 of his last 15 games. With Vegas scoring the third most goals per game in the NHL (3.39) and Florida averaging the second most shots allowed (35.1), the 29-year-old will have his hands full in the desert.

Reimer turned away 28 of 30 shots in Thursday's loss to the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer turned in a strong performance, but ended up getting outdueled by opposing netminder Semyon Varlamov. The 29-year-old owns a 6-8-4 record on the season with a .896 save percentage. Reimer can be a valuable fantasy netminder, but he's been very inconsistent this season. Even with Roberto Luongo (lower body) on injured reserve, it's hard to be too confident in Reimer moving forward. He's been playing well of late, however, so ride the momentum and take full advantage of his increased crease time.

Reimer will field shots from host Colorado on Thursday, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Panthers coach Bob Boughner has been pleased with Reimer's play, as he's had to step up with Roberto Luongo (lower body) moving to injured reserve. While it's admittedly a small sample, the backup tender halted 59 of 63 shots between the last two (road) games against the Red Wings and Blackhawks, respectively, knocking off the Wings in overtime and suffering a hard-luck loss in Chicago on Tuesday night. Reimer's next draw comes against an Avalanche team that could be pesky as the ninth-ranked offense in the league.

Reimer stopped 25 of 28 shots in Tuesday's overtime defeat to the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
The Panthers were able to earn a point, but Reimer just hasn't been good enough of late, allowing at least three goals in seven of his last eight starts. The 29-year-old falls to 6-7-4 on the season with a .894 save percentage. He's seeing all the starts with Roberto Luongo (lower body) sidelined, but it's hard to recommend him as a fantasy option in the cage right now. Know what you're getting with Reimer, who has been inconsistent and is delivering lackluster rate stats.

Reimer will guard the cage in Tuesday's road game against the Blackhawks, John Dietz of the Daily Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer hasn't been great in the month of December, compiling a 2-1-2 record while posting a sub-par 3.36 GAA and .905 save percentage in five appearances. He'll look to right the ship and pick up his seventh win of the season in what will be his second start in as many days Tuesday in a road matchup with a Blackhawks squad that's averaging 3.47 goals per game at home this season, eighth in the NHL.

Reimer stole an overtime road win over the Red Wings on Monday, picking up 34 saves on 35 shots in the process.
EDGE Analysis
This was a brilliant effort from Reimer, who helped the Panthers kill off all three penalties. In fact, he hadn't played this well since an Oct. 28 home contest against the Wings, when he lost in overtime despite posting a .947 save percentage that evening. Given that Roberto Luongo (lower body) has had trouble staying healthy this season, Reimer's benefited from an uptick in playing time and should be of service to fantasy owners desperate for depth at the goaltender position -- just don't expect miracles.

Reimer will be the road starter Monday against the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
This matchup will likely be quite enticing the Wings, and those who have Detroit players on their fantasy teams. Reimer has a 3.81 GAA and a .888 save percentage this season, and he's allowed at least three goals in his last five contests.

Reimer made 23 saves in a 7-3 loss to Colorado on Saturday night.
EDGE Analysis
Optimus Reims is the defacto top canine in kitty city unless the team goes out and adds a twinetender. Reimer allowed five goals Saturday and has consistently allowed at least three goals a game since mid-November. Use with caution.
