A season-ending injury to Igor Shesterkin prompted the Rangers to sign Reimer after a successful PTO. That said, Reimer struggled in his only outing with the Rangers and, with Joonas Korpisalo expected to return from injury, he will head down to Hartford (AHL).
A season-ending injury to Igor Shesterkin prompted the Rangers to sign Reimer after a successful PTO. The veteran 38-year-old Reimer made his Rangers debut on Monday, but he lasted only one period, allowing three goals on eight shots (.625 SV%) in a 6-3 loss to the Los Angeles Kings. He missed practice on Tuesday, and it is unclear whether he will be available when New York returns to action on Sunday against the Edmonton Oilers.
After Igor Shesterkin's season-ending injury, the Rangers have leaned heavily on rookie Dylan Garand, who has been serviceable. Still, they will welcome veteran James Reimer into their crease after signing him following a successful PTO. The 38-year-old Reimer was excellent in his only game with Hartford (AHL), recording a 35-save shutout victory. The Ottawa Senators signed Reimer under similar circumstances last season, where he posted a 2.42 GAA and .886 SV% in 14 appearances (7-4-2). The Rangers enter Monday's contest as -126 home favourites against a Los Angeles Kings team that has scored fewer than two goals in seven straight games (2-4-1).

Reimer gave up four goals on 30 shots in the Seantors' OT loss to the Devils on Sunday. With the Senators locked into their playoff spot, they will give Linus Ullmark, their Game 1 starter, another night off. Reimer has gone 3-2-1 with a 2.10 GAA and .896 SV% in six games since the Olympic break.

On the front end of a back-to-back, amid a tight race for a Wild Card spot in an ultra-tight Eastern Conference, the Senators will turn to Reimer on Monday against the New York Rangers. The 38-year-old goalie has played well in limited action, including saving 17 of 19 shots in his most recent outing, a 3-2 win over the New York Islanders. Reimer has allowed two or fewer goals in four of his last five games (4-1-0), posting a 1.81 GAA and .898 SV%. The Senators enter Monday's contest as -184 road favourites against a Rangers team that extended their losing streak to four games (0-3-1) in yesterday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Winnipeg Jets.
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).
