Reimer will likely start Saturday's game in Boston, TSN's Mark Masters reports.
Jonathan Bernier will likely get the nod for Sunday's game against the Senators, as the Leafs continue to make use of both goalies. Neither has found much luck of late, but Reimer did have a fantastic outing his last time out, stopping 40-of-41 shots in a 3-1 win over the Lightning.

Reimer made 40 saves in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Lightning.
He stymied the Bolts' snipers and got the help of his goalposts, too. But a win is a win. Unfortunately, those wins come too few and far between to make him a viable fantasy option.

Reimer is slated to start Tuesday's game against the Lightning, Paul Hendrick of Leafs TV reports.
The Leafs will stick with Reimer, who made 22 saves in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Senators, an effort that helped Toronto end a seven-game losing skid.

Reimer made 22 saves in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Senators.
Wins have been few and far between for Optimus Reims (or Jonathan Bernier, for that matter) -- the Leafs have won two of their last 10. And his inflated GAA and save percentage make him nothing more than a desperation roll.

Reimer will be in the crease for Saturday's game against the Senators, Terry Koshan of the Ottawa Sun reports.
After coming on to stop all 11 of the shots he faced in relief of Jonathan Bernier in Thursday's loss to the Panthers, Reimer will be rewarded with the starting nod. Reimer has typically thrived against the Senators over his career (10-3-1, 2.33 GAA, .934 save percentage in 16 appearances), but many of those wins came when he was a member of at least semi-competitive Leafs squads. Needless to say, he doesn't find himself in nearly as favorable of a team context right now, and as such, shouldn't be trusted to deliver positive results.

Reimer allowed three goals on 18 shots before being replaced by Jonathan Bernier early in the second period of Saturday's loss to Ottawa.
Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. And whatever you do, do not activate a Toronto goalie. Seriously.

Reimer will start Saturday's game in Ottawa, TSN's Jonas Siegel reports.
Jonathan Bernier missed Friday's practice for purposes of rest, and Remier has now been confirmed as the starter for Saturday. No injury has been reported, so Bernier may be back in the crease for Monday's game against Minnesota.

Reimer stopped 27 of 28 shots in relief of starter Jonathan Bernier in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Oilers.
Reimer wasn't able to overcome the early 3-0 deficit that Bernier created, and in fact, immediately made it worse, surrendering another score less than three minutes after entering the game. However, he buckled down thereafter, and may have earned himself another start in the near future in light of his relatively strong outing. Even so, with a 3.22 GAA and .903 save percentage over 29 games this season, Bernier won't make for more than a low-end starting option the next time he enters the net.

Reimer was horrible Friday, letting in a whopping six goals on just 28 shots in a 6-3 loss to the Flames.
The Leafs season has been an unmitigated disaster this season, and Reimer has been no different. In three starts in March, he's allowed 12 goals on 86 shots (.860 save percentage) and owns a bloated 3.30 GAA on the year. It's tough not to feel bad for the guy but if there's one goalie to avoid for the rest of the season -- even in spot starts against weaker opponents -- it's Reimer.

Reimer will be in the crease for Friday's game against the Flames.
With Jonathan Bernier firmly established as the Leafs' No. 1 goalie at this point in the season, Reimer has been limited to just three appearances over the last month. Reimer has been largely awful when called upon this season, going 7-14-0 with a 3.18 GAA and .905 save percentage, and only one win since Dec. 14. He doesn't make for an appealing option in daily formats for the Friday slate.
