Reimer is expected to start at home against Winnipeg on Thursday, Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer has won his first two starts on the campaign while saving 54 of 56 shots (.963 save percentage). He'll look to keep that going Thursday, though the Jets are doing well too, having won their last two contests while outscoring the competition 7-4 over that stretch. Reimer has had mixed results against the Jets during his career, posting a 7-9-1 record, 3.25 GAA and .907 save percentage in 20 career contests verus Winnipeg.

Reimer stopped 29 of 31 shots in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer was steady in his second outing of the year, though it didn't earn him another shutout. The Red Wings supplied plenty of goals to support him, including a hat trick from Alex DeBrincat. Reimer has allowed goals on 54 shots over his two outings this season, both wins. Ville Husso remains the starter for now, but Reimer's stronger performance could help him pull closer to a 50-50 split, especially with Alex Lyon awaiting his first action in 2023-24.

Reimer will get the home start Sunday versus Calgary, according to Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer stopped all 23 shots in his only start this season, a 4-0 win over Columbus on Monday. Reimer, who came over from the Sharks in the offseason, did not fare well against the Flames last year, giving up six goals on 38 shots in his only start against Calgary.

Reimer made 23 saves in Monday's 4-0 win over Columbus.
EDGE Analysis
It was quite a way for Reimer to start his tenure with Detroit, as he turned aside 23 shots in a shutout victory. The 35-year-old veteran posted a 12-21-8 record with an .890 save percentage last season with San Jose. Reimer was slated to open the year as the Red Wings' backup, though Ville Husso has struggled a bit early in the season, allowing seven goals in his first two games, potentially opening the door for Reimer to take on a larger role.

Reimer will defend the road net Monday versus Columbus, according to Red Wings radio announcer Ken Kal.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer, who will make his Detroit debut in the contest, posted a 12-21-8 record with a 3.48 GAA and an .890 save percentage in 43 games for San Jose last season. Detroit currently has a crowded crease situation with three goaltenders on the roster, so there could be plenty of competition for playing time in the early going. Ville Husso started the first two contests this campaign, and Alex Lyon is still waiting for a chance to see game action.

Reimer secured a one-year, $1.5 million contract with Detroit on Saturday, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer will almost certainly enter training camp as the presumptive No. 2 behind Ville Husso but should be capable of pushing the youngster for the starting job. With San Jose last season, the 35-year-old Reimer went 12-21-8 with a career-worst 3.48 GAA in 43 outings.

Overall in 2022-23, he has finished with a 12-21-8 record, 3.48 GAA and .890 save percentage in 43 contests.

Reimer will start Thursday's road game in Edmonton, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer will get the second half of a back-to-back after Kaapo Kahkonen took the loss in Calgary on Wednesday. Reimer has already taken a career-high 20 losses, and facing off with one of the league's top offenses Thursday could make it tough for him to end the campaign on a positive note.
