Reimer went 19-8-5 with a 2.46 GAA and .924 SV% last season and played great in his first career playoff appearance. He was the better of the two goalies in the preseason, thus he starts opening night. He will split time with Jonathan Bernier this season, limiting his value, but behind a good Leafs team he should be able to stockpile a lot of wins.
We already know that the two are going to split each of the first two games, but for now Reimer is the likely starter for the season opener. Bernier is a native of Quebec, but Reimer has been the better of the two goalies in camp. We will await for the official word, which will come tomorrow. For now consider Reimer "likely".
“He has moments in these games where he’s able to create chances, able to draw penalties, and that’s the kind of player he is. And that’s huge,” Yeo said. “I didn’t like his first period. I thought that he got stronger in the second period and in the third period, he changed the game.”
Zucker said it felt "absolutely perfect" in today's practice and coach Mike Yeo said there's a very good chance he plays Monday's preseason game in Columbus. He had 50 points in 55 games in the AHL last season and four goals in 20 games with the Wild.
Reimer's playoff legacy continued to grow in Toronto last night. The 25-year-old netminder stopped 29 of 30 shots in the 2-1 win that froced Game 7 tonight in Boston. He has the 12th ranked GAA (2.58) and 8th ranked SV% (.932) in the playoffs. However none of that really matters in a Game 7, anything can happen.
Reimer stopped 43 of 44 shots in the 2-1 win in Boston. He was phenomenal, especially in the third period when Boston threw everything they had at Reimer. He held the fort and will be expected to keep the Maple Leafs alive in Game 6 tonight.
Reimer was peppered yet again in Game 4 when he faced 45 shots. However he allowed four goals including an OT winner to the red-hot David Krejci. The Maple Leafs face elimination in Boston tonight and they will need Reimer to be better than he has ever been. He has a 3.33 GAA (15th/19) and a .914 SV% (11th) to this point.
Reimer allowed four goals on 37 shots in the 5-2 loss in Game 3. He currently ranks 16th out of 20 in GAA (3.33) and 11th in SV% (.915). Tonight is a huge game for the Maple Leafs, they will need Reimer to be at his best so they don't go down 3-1.
Reimer played very well in Game 2 making 39 saves on 41 shots in the 4-2 win that knotted the series up. He will make his first career playoff start in Toronto tonight where the Leafs will look to take the lead in the series.
Reimer was peppered in Game 1, he allowed four goals on 40 shots in the 4-1 loss. He will be the Leafs starter for the playoffs, but getting past the Bruins is not going to be an easy task.
Reimer was all the Maple Leafs could have hoped for this season. He had a winning record every month of the season while posting solid GAA and SV%. Reimer was 1-1-1 with a 1.63 GAA and .948 SV% vs. the Bruins this season, but he will have to be at his best if the Maple Leafs are going to have a chance.
Zucker has four goals and one assist in 19 games with the WIld this season.
Reimer posted a 34-save shutout over the Panthers on Thursday. He has been really good lately. He is 6-3-1 with a 2.09 GAA with .938 SV% in April. Tonight's game could be a preview of a first-round matchup... And what a matchup it would be.

Reimer allowed four goals on 25 shots in a 5-2 loss to the Lightning last night. He has a great matchup in the second game of a back-to-back vs. the Panthers.
Reimer allowed four goals on 25 shots in a 5-2 loss to the Lightning last night. The Leafs are locked into the playoffs so it would be surprising if they didn't give Remer a rest in back-to-back situation. He has a great matchup tonight vs. the Panthers.
Toronto is trying to get to get home-ice in the first round so they turn to their #1 goalie tonight. He stopped 49 of 50 shots that he faced in a 4-1 win over the Senators last Saturday. He is 1-0-0 vs. Tampa Bay this year.
Toronto is trying to get to fourth in the East so it makes sense that they would go with their #1 goalie. He stopped 49 of 50 shots that he faced in a 4-1 win over the Senators last Saturday. He is 1-0-0 vs. Tampa Bay this year.
Bishop has lost four straight and six out of his last seven starts. He is 2-4-1 with a 3.12 GAA and .916 SV% since being traded to the Bolts. He will face a Maple Leafs that he has a 3.70 GAA and .861 SV% against this season.
Zucker had no points and was a minus-2 in five games during his most recent call-up.
