James Reimer News

The Senators have relied heavily on Linus Ullmark during their post-Olympic push for a playoff spot, but they will turn to Reimer in the tail end of a back-to-back on Thursday against the New York Islanders. The 38-year-old Reimer was excellent in his only appearance since returning from the Olympic break, saving all 16 shots he faced in a 2-0 win over the Vancouver Canucks for his first shutout of the season. The Senators enter Thursday's contest as -126 home favourites against an Islanders team that is 4-1-0 in their last five games.

The Senators have relied exclusively on Linus Ullmark since returning from the Olympic break, but will turn to Reimer on Monday against the Vancouver Canucks for his first start in over a month. The 37-year-old Reimer showcased mixed results since making his Senators' debut in mid-January, but he was excellent in his most recent game, saving 15 of 16 shots (.938 SV%) in a 2-1 win over the Philadelphia Flyers. The Senators enter Monday's contest as significant -220 road favourites against a reeling Canucks team that has a dreadful league-worst -71 goal differential through 63 games (19-36-8).

Linus Ullmark is battling an illness, so he will be unavailable on Thursday, resulting in Reimer tending the twine against the Philadelphia Flyers. The 37-year-old Reimer allowed four goals in 19 shots (.789 SV%) in Ottawa's previous game, a 4-3 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes. He has a sub- .900 SV% in four straight games (1-3-0). The Senators enter Thursday's contest as -132 road favourites against a Flyers team coming off a 4-2 win over the Washington Capitals.

Linus Ullmark got the nod on Monday, so the Senators will hand Reimer the start against his former team on Tuesday. Reimer guided the Sens to a major upset in his last start, stopping 16 of the 18 shots he faced in a 5-2 win over the Avalanche last Wednesday. The 16-year-veteran has made five starts since joining the Senators in January, posting a 2-2-1 record and an .873 SV%. Ottawa enters action on Tuesday at +145 on the money line.

Linus Ullmark (personal) returned as a backup to Mads Sogaard in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Vegas Golden Knights, and will return to that role on Wednesday, backing up James Reimer against the Colorado Avalanche. The 37-year-old Reimer has kept his team in most games since making his debut two weeks ago, but had a poor showing in his most recent outing, allowing four goals on 19 shots (.789 SV%) in a 4-1 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes. The Senators enter Wednesday's contest as +122 home underdogs against the league-leading Avalanche, who are in their worst stretch of the season, losing six of their last 10 games (4-4-2).

The Senators have received steadier goaltending since acquiring Reimer, and he will return to the crease on Thursday for a third consecutive start. The 37-year-old goalie was terrific in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets, saving 20 of 21 shots (.955 SV%). The Senators enter Thursday's contest as -114 road favorites against a Nashville Predators team that has been outscored 12-5 during a two-game losing streak (0-2-0).

With Linus Ullmark (personal) away from the team, Ottawa has needed reinforcements between the pipes in recent weeks, leading them to sign Reimer to a one-year, $850,000 contract earlier this month. The 37-year-old Reimer was awarded the contract despite struggling on his PTO in Belleville (AHL), allowing six goals on 28 shots (.786 SV%) in his only game, a 6-5 loss to Rochester. That said, the veteran goalie was serviceable in his first start on Sunday, saving 30 of 34 shots (.882 SV%) in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Detroit Red Wings. The Senators enter Tuesday's contest as -114 road favorites against a Blue Jackets team on a four-game winning streak.

That contest aside, Reimer has been excellent lately, posting a 2.61 GAA and .912 SV% in 12 contests (8-3-1). The Sabres enter Thursday's contest as -145 home favorites against a Flyers team that defeated them 7-4 on March 29th.
