Reimer hasn't started since being run into by a teammate on October 17th. In his last full start he allowed just one goal on 37 shots in a win vs. Minnesota. He will be in tough tonight against a great Penguins team.
Bishop was busy on Thursday, facing 43 shots - he stopped 38 of them. Despite allowed five goals to the Blackhawks, he had a ton of goal support winning 6-5 in OT. He should be in for an easier game tonight with the Sabres in town. Buffalo's 1.42 G/G and 25.3 shots/G are the lowest in the NHL

Bishop was pulled after giving up four goals on 17 shots vs. Boston on Saturday. Boston was all over the Lighting and there was not much Bishop could do. He will face the Hawks for the second time this season. The first time around he turned aside 37 of 39 shots in a 3-2 shootout win in Chicago.
Bishop allowed one goal for the second straight game on Thursday. He stopped 25 shots in the win over the Wild. He is 5-0 with a 1.57 GAA and .943 SV% - he is feeling it right now. Tough matchup with the Bruins tomorrow, but if you don't have a better option, hopefully the hot-streak continues.
Reimer left Thursday's game with an apparent head injury. He has a history of concussions, so this is a positive sign that his injury is not serious.
It appeared as if Reimer took a knee to the head, and with a history of concussions, that is not good. He was able to skate off under his own power, but went straight to the dressing room. Update to follow.
Reimer stopped 36 of 37 shots in a 4-1 win over the Wild on Tuesday. After Jonathan Bernier has a streak of four straight starts, Reimer showed that he can still be the number one guy in Toronto. He will get another chance tonight vs. Carolina.
Bishop turned aside 30 of 31 shots in his first game back from his lower-body injury. He is 4-0 with a 1.71 GAA and .939 SV% so start him while he is hot, because it is not expected to last all season. He has a decent matchup tonight vs. Minnesota.

Bishop was hurt last Thursday but has made a speedy recovery and will return to the cage tonight vs. Los Angeles. The 26-year-old is 3-0-0 with a 1.93 GAA and .928 SV% in the early part of the season. Although he is off to a strong start, the matchup with the Kings is a tough one.
This will be Reimer's first start since the home opener on October 5th, he was pulled after allowing four goals on 21 shots. Jonathan Bernier has clearly been the better of the two netminders so far, but a good start from Reimer tonight would go a long way.
This is positive news for Bishop's fantasy owners. He could be back in the cage tomorrow vs. Los Angeles.
Bishop suffered the injury in last night's 7-2 win over the Panthers. Kristers Gudlevskis has been recalled to presumably backup Anders Lindback while Bishop is out. Tough break for him after a great start; 3-0-0 / 1.93 GAA / .928 SV%.
Bishop has yet to lose this season. He has started 2-0 with a 1.90 GAA and .935 SV%. He will start against a Panthers team that is struggling right now. He should make for a good start tonight.
Zucker was recalled by Minnesota on Sunday and made his season debut with the Wild Tuesday at Nashville skating 13:13 and registered one shot on goal.
The Lightning were dominated by the Blackhawks on Saturday, but Bishop was tremendous and led Tampa Bay to a shootout win. He allowed two goals on 39 shots in his first start of the season. Tonight he has a good matchup vs. a Sabres team who is struggling to score.
Zucker, the speedster left wing, scored four goals in 20 games last season and an overtime winner in the playoffs. Coach Mike Yeo says it's too early to determine the plans going forward and the Wild felt it was time to give Zucker a shot, but my guess:
Bishop will get his first start of the season tonight against the Blackhawks. He went 3-4-1 with a 2.99 GAA and .917 SV% after being traded to the Lightning at the deadline. With the Stanley Cup Champs in town it is a tough matchup for Bishop.
Reimer looked good in his first start of the season allowing three goals on 37 shots. He is locked into a battle with Jonathan Bernier, who also played very well in his first start. Reimer dominated the Senators last season going 3-0-0 with 1.67 GAA, .960 SV% and one shutout.
