Ennis scored 20-plus goals and 40-plus points in back-to-back seasons, but registered just eight goals and 16 assists (24 points) in 74 games in two injury plagued seasons over the last couple of years. The diminutive winger has the talent to be a point producer, but needs to find a way to stay on the ice.
Brannstrom is a bit undersized (5-foot-10/179 lbs.) for an NHL defenseman, but he was a solid two-way D-man for HV71 this season. He posted six points (1G / 5A) in 35 games this season and projects as a strong puck-moving defenseman who will need to try an add some bulk to fit into the NHL.
Reimer was pulled after he allowed four goals on 22 shots in the Panthers’ loss in Buffalo last night. Pulling him was likely a way to keep Reimer a little more fresh to start a key game tonight in Toronto. Reimer has gone 4-7-1 with a 2.85 GAA and .914 SV% in March—one of those wins came vs. Toronto a few weeks ago, Reimer stopped 28 shots in a 7-2 win.
Reimer stopped all 25 shots the he faced in the Panthers’ 7-0 win vs. the Blackhawks on Saturday. Reimer has won his last two games while stopping 47 of 48 shots (.979 SV%). Tonight he will take on a Sabres team that has won three of their last four—but that’s on the heels of 10 of 12.
Bishop allowed two goals on 16 shots after replacing Jonathan Quick in the Kings’ loss in Calgary on Sunday. Bishop is 0-2-2 with a 2.60 GAA and .899 SV% in four games since being acquired by the Kings before the trade deadline. Tonight he will take on a Jets team that has won three in a row.
