Reimer made 38 saves in a 5-0 win over the Flames on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

He was especially busy in the second period when the Flames outshot the Red Wings 16-8. Reimer was a difference-maker on the penalty kill, stymying Calgary on all five power plays with 10 stops. It was the second shutout of the season for Optimus Reim, who made his first start since Jan. 14. Don't expect big things from Reimer, who toils behind Alex Lyon, but he can be considered situationally if the matchup is favorable.

Reimer is expected to start in Saturday's road game versus Calgary, per Ted Kulfan of The Detroit News.

EDGE Analysis

Reimer has a 4-6-2 record, 3.22 GAA and .894 save percentage in 14 outings in 2023-24. This is set to be his first game since stopping the six shots he faced in a relief appearance against Dallas on Jan. 23. The Flames are 12-12-1 at home, so Reimer should have a fair shot at winning this contest.

Reimer turned aside all six shots he faced after replacing Alex Lyon to begin the third period of Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Reimer entered the game with his team down 5-2 and gave the Wings a chance to mount a comeback, but it fell just short. The 35-year-old has gotten only two starts since Christmas with Lyon taking over the top job in the crease, and Reimer's 4-6-2 record, 3.22 GAA and .894 save percentage on the season don't make a compelling case for more action.

Reimer stopped 28 of 30 shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Reimer had been on the bench for seven straight games after a three-game span in which he allowed 17 goals. He bounced back well after his extended break, limiting the Maple Leafs to a pair of second-period tallies. While this was a solid effort, it's unlikely Reimer will displace Alex Lyon from the No. 1 spot. For the season, Reimer is at 4-6-2 with a 3.30 GAA and an .893 save percentage over 13 appearances.

Reimer will guard the road goal versus the Maple Leafs on Sunday, Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Reimer will get between the pipes for the first time since Dec. 27. Alex Lyon has enjoyed a run of playing time, including in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Kings. Reimer will see a Maple Leafs team that has lost two games in a row after a four-game winning streak.

Reimer made 25 saves in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Minnesota blew open a 2-2 game with three straight goals in just over two minutes during the third period. Reimer is wilting under a heavier workload with both Ville Husso (lower body) and Alex Lyon (upper body) on IR, and he's coughed up at least five goals in four of his last five outings with a horrendous 5.09 GAA and .853 save percentage over that stretch. It wouldn't be a surprise if Michael Hutchinson began to see more action until Detroit's goaltending crew gets healthier.

Reimer is set to start on the road against Minnesota on Wednesday, per Jessi Pierce of NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Ville Husso (lower body) and Alex Lyon (upper body) remain on injured reserve while Michael Hutchinson is expected to serve as the backup goaltender Wednesday. Reimer has a 3-5-2 record, 3.16 GAA and .897 save percentage in 11 appearances this year. He's struggled recently, allowing 18 goals on 132 shots (.864 save percentage) over his last four contests. The Wild are tied for 20th offensively this season with 3.03 goals per game, so this could be a good opportunity for Reimer to rebound.

Reimer turned aside 37 shots in regulation and overtime as well as both shootout attempts he faced in Friday's 7-6 win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Detroit handed Reimer a 5-1 lead before the first intermission, but the veteran netminder coughed it up over the next two periods. Detroit was actually staring at a 6-5 deficit with about five minutes left before Dylan Larkin got the game-tying goal. Reimer managed to bounce back to pick up his first win since Oct. 22. He's been tagged for five or more goals in three of his last four outings. With neither Ville Husso (lower body) nor Alex Lyon (upper body) currently available, the Wings have little choice but to keep rolling with Reimer.

Reimer will patrol the home crease versus Philadelphia on Friday, Ted Kulfan of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Reimer has taken over as the Red Wings' No. 1 goaltender as Ville Husso (lower body) and Alex Lyon (upper body) are both out of action. Reimer is currently on a five-game losing streak -- he is 2-5-2 with a 2.87 GAA and a .903 save percentage this season. The Flyers dropped a 4-2 decision to Nashville on Thursday and are tied for 23rd in NHL scoring, averaging 2.88 goals per game.

Reimer made 36 saves in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to Winnipeg.

EDGE Analysis

The Red Wings defense was simply overwhelmed, and Reimer had little chance on any of the pucks that beat him. With Ville Husso (lower body) on IR and Alex Lyon (upper body) also unavailable, the Detroit crease belongs to Reimer at the moment, but he's given up 12 goals on 89 shots while taking the loss in three straight appearances.
