Reimer denied 35 of 36 shots from host Anaheim en route to a 4-1 win Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer allowed a shortie from ironman Andrew Cogliano to open the scoring in the contest, but he engaged cruise control shortly thereafter. The Cats are on the prowl, having rattled off three straight road victories, so with that in mind -- in addition to Roberto Luongo's recent cramping issue that had him limited to a backup role Friday -- Reimer deserves a look in fantasy leagues if you're in need of goalie depth for your virtual club.

Reimer will defend the crease for Friday night's game in Anaheim.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer draws the start after relieving Roberto Luongo on Wednesday. Luongo was suffering from cramps, but will be available as the backup Friday. Reimer was in decent form before getting shelled by the Kings in his last start -- he had allowed just one goal in each of his previous two victories, one of which was against the Ducks. He'll look to replicate that type of play against an Anaheim team that averages just 2.73 goals per game on home ice.

Reimer saved just 11 of 14 shots during Thursday's loss to Los Angeles.
EDGE Analysis
The stat line doesn't tell the whole story. After Reimer allowed three goals in the first period, Roberto Luongo entered the game, but then Luongo allowed three quick goals in the second period, and Reimer reentered. Luongo will likely start at Nashville on Wednesday, and then Reimer should draw back in over the weekend, as the Panthers have a road back-to-back set against San Jose and Anaheim on Friday and Saturday, respectively. This was likely more of a blip on the radar than anything for Florida and its goalies. The Panthers are fully healthy for the first time all season, after all.

Reimer is slated to start between the pipes in Thursday's home game against the Kings, Harvey Fialkov of the Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer has been razor-sharp in his last two starts, picking up back-to-back wins while posting a superb 0.99 GAA and .964 save percentage over that span. The 28-year-old netminder will look to pick up his 10th win of the campaign in a favorable home matchup with a Kings team that's only averaging 2.03 goals per game on the road this season, 28th in the NHL.

Reimer turned aside 22 of the 23 shots he faced in Friday's 2-1 win against the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer was supposed to start Tuesday against the Senators, but he left the team briefly to be with his wife for the birth of their daughter. He was able to return and dress as the backup for that game, but this was his first action since the life-altering event. The new dad celebrated in style, shutting down a powerful offense. After a few shaky starts, Reimer appears to be back on track with two outings in a row letting in just one puck.

Reimer will start between the pipes in Friday's home game against the Ducks, George Richards of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer was razor-sharp in his last start, turning aside 31 of the 32 shots he faced en route to a 2-1 overtime victory over Tampa Bay last Thursday. The 28-year-old backstop will look to pick up his ninth win of the season in a home matchup with a Ducks team averaging 2.50 goals per game on the road this season, 16th in the NHL.

Reimer will return and serve as the team's backup netminder for Tuesday's game against the Senators, Chris Johnson of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Congrats to the Reimer Family on the birth of a new baby daughter. Reimer will be dressed as the backup to Roberto Luongo. He was originally expected to start Tuesday's game against Ottawa, so he'll likely be inserted into the lineup soon. When that happens, he'll let you know about it.

Reimer will sit out Tuesday's tilt against Ottawa to be with his wife as they await the birth of their child, Steve Goldstein of Fox Sports Florida reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer was originally named the starting goaltender for this game after Monday's practice, but will not be in uniform tonight after his wife went into labor early this morning. Veteran Roberto Luongo will start in Reimer's place.

Reimer will tend the twine Tuesday against the Senators, Harvey Fialkov of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer finished the first half off with a strong showing against the Lightning in which he allowed just one goal on 32 shots. As a result, he will be rewarded with the opening start of the second half as the Panthers look to play catch-up in the Atlantic Division standings. The club squares off against an Ottawa team that's averaged three goals per game over 11 January tilts.

Reimer made 31 saves in Thursday's 2-1 overtime win over Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer has made at least 27 saves in nine consecutive appearances while holding opponents to exactly one goal four times in that span. Roberto Luongo's backup has represented only a modest dropoff from the 37-year-old veteran's 2.45 GAA and .921 save percentage, and should continue to start around a third of the team's games after the All-Star break.
