Reimer will get the starting nod for Saturday's clash with Colorado, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer should be expected to shoulder a heavy workload going forward after starter Roberto Luongo (lower body) was ruled out indefinitely. The 29-year-old Reimer has posted a 5-6-3 record with a 3.70 GAA in 15 outings this year -- not exactly the stellar numbers fantasy owners would be looking for.

Reimer saved 35 of 39 shots during Thursday's 6-4 win over Winnipeg
EDGE Analysis
Reimer has now allowed three or more goals in each of his past five starts, and he sports an underwhelming .892 save percentage and 3.70 GAA for the campaign. While those numbers are discouraging, Roberto Luongo is out for a prolonged stretch with a lower-body injury, so Reimer is locked in as the No. 1 starter. Because there is value in volume, the second-year Panther should be owned in most settings.

Reimer will be in goal for Thursday's matchup with Winnipeg, Steve Goldstein of Fox Sports Florida reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer will be the No. 1 in Florida for the foreseeable future, as Roberto Luongo (lower body) suffered a long-term injury that has ruled him out indefinitely. So far this season, 29-year-old Reimer has made 14 appearances, in which he posted a 4-6-3 record with a disappointing 3.67 GAA. If the Manitoba native can't improve his performance against the Jets -- who are averaging 3.35 goals -- it could be a rough night Thursday.

Reimer faced 19 shots when he came in for Roberto Luongo, turning aside 16 in a 5-4 loss to the Islanders on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
This is what Panther fans feared with an injury to Luongo. If Reimer isn't ready to go and ready to produce at, Florida is going to struggle and struggle badly as it tries to make the best out of a bad situation. The only bad situation Monday was that Reimer let in three goals, which won'r make anyone feel better about his long-term prospects. Tread carefully.

Reimer lost a 44-save, 3-2 heartbreaker to the Hurricanes in overtime Saturday. The winning goal was scored with two seconds left.
EDGE Analysis
Optimus Reims battled all night long and made several spectacular saves. But he popped a rebound back onto Noah Hanifin's stick that was buried on a backhand. Reimer's rate stats (3.73 GAA and .889 heading into the game) are abysmal and that makes him bench-worthy.

Reimer will face the Hurricanes as a road starter Saturday, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer will be pitted against a Carolina team leads the league in shots per game (35.5 on average) but curiously only ranks 23rd in scoring (2.79). Florida's primary backup tender carries a 4-6-1 record, 3.73 GAA and .889 save percentage into this next contest -- those rate stats are horrendous, so explore alternatives if you can.

Reimer saved 33 of 37 shots during Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
While this was by no means a strong outing, it was Reimer's first win since Oct. 26 and just his fourth through 12 games (11 starts) this season. The veteran backstop sports an underwhelming .889 save percentage and 3.73 GAA for the campaign, and he probably shouldn't be trusted in the majority of matchups. Additionally, it'll likely take another injury to Roberto Luongo before Reimer checks out as anything other than bench depth in most fantasy settings.

Reimer will start against against the Rangers on Tuesday, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Florida having back-to-back games in the New York metropolitan area, Reimer will draw in for the second game and give starting goaltender Roberto Luongo a rest day. The 29-year-old has struggled in November so far posting a .847 save percentage and 3.72 GAA in three games, and with the Rangers ranking eighth in the NHL for goals scored per game (3.21), Reimer's attempt for a bounce back performance on Broadway won't be easy.

Reimer made 16 saves in Saturday's 4-0 loss to the Kings. He allowed three goals.
EDGE Analysis
Optimus Reims played one-man band on Saturday, just like he did his last start against the Devils when his team gave him just one goal of support. Reimer hasn't picked up a win since Oct. 26 and was yanked in two of those five starts. He just isn't a guy you can depend on in your twine tent.

Reimer led the Panthers out on the ice for warmups Saturday, Curtis Zupke of the Los Angeles Times reports. This means he'll draw the road start against the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
It'll be backup versus backup in this match, as the Kings reportedly will counter with Darcy Kuemper rather rolling out star backstop Jonathan Quick. Reimer has only started once in the past five games, as Roberto Luongo did the honors, posting a tidy 3-1-1 record, 2.17 GAA and .943 save percentage over that span.
