Reimer (undisclosed) is serving as Garret Sparks' backup in Wednesday's game against the Jets, Jonas Siegel of TSN Radio 1050 reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer's presence on the bench Wednesday, even in a backup role, indicates the 27-year-old netminder has likely fully recovered from the undisclosed ailment that held him out of Toronto's last two games. Considering his outstanding performance prior to the injury, it's hard to imagine a scenario where Reimer doesn't receive the starting nod for Thursday's matchup with Minnesota.

Head coach Mike Babcock said following Monday's game that Reimer (undisclosed) will start Wednesday's game against the Jets if he is healthy, Terry Koshan of the Toronto Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Whether or not Reimer will be healthy enough to start Monday remains to be seen, as he was unable to take part in Monday's morning skate. If Reimer is unable to go, Garret Sparks -- who notched a shutout in his NHL debut Monday -- will get the start in goal instead.

Reimer (undisclosed) skated briefly before practice Monday, but did not take part in morning skate, Jonas Siegel of TSN 1050 reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer has yet to rejoin practice, but the fact that he's skating is at least a good sign. With Garret Sparks already confirmed as Monday's starter, Reimer is obviously not ready to rejoin the team at this point. Jonathan Bernier will serve as the backup Monday behind Sparks, making Reimer's next chance to return Wednesday against the Jets.

Reimer is back on the ice during Sunday's morning skate, Mark Masters of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
While Reimer could still miss Monday's game against the Oilers, this at least confirms that his injury is minor and he is truly day-to-day. Garret Sparks, who was called up from the AHL to cover for Reimer, is still at practice, so it seems that Toronto has yet to make its decision.

Reimer is dealing with an unspecified injury and will not play Saturday night against the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
It's not known exactly what type of injury Reimer is dealing with, but what is known is that Toronto will roll with Jonathan Bernier on Saturday, and the team has also recalled Garret Sparks from the Marlies of the AHL as extra insurance. Reimer should be considered day-to-day for now.

Reimer stopped 26 of 29 shots in Monday's loss to the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer has posted an extremely impressive November, but was dealt his second consecutive loss following a stretch of five straight wins. It was just the first time in nine outings that he allowed more than two goals though, so the Leafs figure to keep him rolling while he's hot.

Reimer will start in the crease Monday against the Bruins, Jonas Siegel of TSN 1050 reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer continues to receive a heavy workload in net, and for good reason. The netminder has posted an extremely impressive month of November thus far, currently sitting at a 6-2-2 record with a 1.57 GAA and .953 save percentage. Given the alternative's (Jonathan Bernier) struggles, the Maple Leafs will likely continue to ride the hot hand as long as possible. Reimer will face a tough test Monday, however, opposing a Bruins team that's third in scoring (3.26 G/GP) so far this season.

Reimer made 35 saves in a 2-0 loss to Boston on Saturday night. He allowed just one goal and it came late in the third period (16:17).
EDGE Analysis
Optimus Reims was the reason the Leafs were in this after the first -- he stood on his head at times. And that effort continued throughout the game. Reimer has been a big part of the Leafs' recent strong play and has essentially become the team's starting netminder. His numbers are excellent, so he's worth activating.

Reimer will start in goal Saturday against the Bruins, Jonas Siegel of TSN 1050 reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coach Mike Babcock will stick with Reimer for the second half of the back-to-back set after Reimer held Carolina to one goal on 34 shots Friday. After Friday's outing, Reimer now is now 6-1-2 with a .951 save percentage for the month of November.
