Reimer made 32 saves in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Columbus jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first period, but aside from a Kirill Marchenko power-play tally in the third, Reimer was stout the rest of the way and gave his team a chance to mount a comeback. The 36-year-old netminder has been Detroit's best option in the crease since the All-Star break, going 4-1-0 over seven outings with a 2.48 GAA and .929 save percentage, and he appears to have worked into a timeshare with Alex Lyon.

Reimer made 25 saves in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Tage Thompson beat Reimer on a Buffalo power play midway through the first period, but the Detroit netminder shut the door the rest of the way. The 36-year-old Reimer picked up his first win since Feb. 25 to even his record at 7-7-2 on the season, and in six outings since the All-Star break, he has delivered a .931 save percentage. With Alex Lyon buckling under a heavy workload and losing six straight starts, Reimer could be in the crease more often down the stretch as Detroit tries to hang onto a wild-card spot.

Reimer will defend the home crease versus Buffalo on Saturday, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer will make his third appearance in the Red Wings' last four games. He replaced Alex Lyon on Tuesday in a 7-3 loss to Buffalo. Reimer is 6-7-2 with a 3.09 GAA and a .903 save percentage. He will face the Sabres, who have won three games in a row and are just three points behind the Red Wings and Islanders in a fight for the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference.

Reimer stopped 23 of 26 shots after replacing Alex Lyon late in the first period of Tuesday's 7-3 loss to the Sabres. Lyon was credited with the loss.
EDGE Analysis
The 35-year-old backup didn't have much more success than Lyon did in the crease, but the ugly loss was a total team effort by Detroit. Reimer has started only three of the Wings' 15 games since the All-Star break, but he's also been needed in relief twice and has a 2.70 GAA and .926 save percentage in those five outings. With Lyon struggling badly at the moment and Detroit having fallen out of a playoff spot due to a six-game losing streak, coach Derek Lalonde has every incentive to give Reimer a bigger workload down the stretch.

Reimer stopped 31 of 35 shots in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Golden Knights. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer limited the damage to two goals over the first two periods, but the Golden Knights were a shot better in the third. This was the second half of a back-to-back for the Red Wings, who have now lost five straight games, though Reimer's been tagged with just one of those defeats. The 35-year-old netminder is at 6-7-2 with a 3.05 GAA and a .904 save percentage through 18 outings. Alex Lyon will likely be back between the pipes Tuesday versus the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis
Reimer entered in relief of Alex Lyon during Wednesday's 7-2 loss against Colorado. Reimer went on to surrender two goals on 14 shots to the Avalanche, but he wasn't stuck with the loss. The 35-year-old has been solid this season, registering a .906 save percentage and a 6-6-2 record. He will likely continue to split time with Alex Lyon down the sretch.

Reimer surrendered two goals on 14 shots in a 7-2 defeat to Colorado on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
After Alex Lyon allowed five goals on 40 shots through the first two periods, Reimer came on in relief to start the third, where he allowed two more tallies in the lopsided defeat. The veteran netminder had been solid recently in limited work behind Lyon, going 3-0-0 with a stellar .964 save percentage in his prior four outings. Overall, he's 6-6-2 with a .906 save percentage and 2.98 GAA this season. Reimer should get at least one start later this week, with Detroit playing back-to-back road games versus Arizona and Vegas on Friday and Saturday, respectively.

Reimer made 33 saves on 35 shots in a 3-2 overtime win over the Blackhawks on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer was the busier of the two netminders, facing 35 shots, including three in overtime, to get the better of Peter Mrazek in the goaltending duel. The only two goals allowed by Reimer were in the second period, including a late power-play goal by Nick Foligno to give the Blackhawks a 2-1 lead. The 35-year old netminder turned away the remainder of the shots and finished with a .943 save percentage. Reimer, despite this strong game, still remains the backup to Alex Lyon. While his performance was encouraging, it's unclear when he will see his next start.

Reimer will start between the road pipes in Sunday's matchup with Chicago, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer was unbeatable in his last start Saturday versus the Flames, stopping all 38 shots sent his way en route to a comfy 5-0 victory. He'll try to pick up his sixth win of the season in a favorable road matchup with a Blackhawks squad that's 11-15-2 at home this year.
