The Blue Jackets did not hold a morning skate.

Columbus has been one of the teams who tend to take the morning off and makes it difficult to get a read on their starting goalie. However, there were two players on the ice this morning, one of which was Sergei Bobrovsky. This suggests that Joonas Korpisalo may get the nod tonight, saving Bobrovsky for tomorrow's game in Chicago. Head coach John Tortorella will speak to the media around 5 p.m. ET and is expected to announce his starter at that time.

Reimer will start Tuesday in Toronto.

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 will start Monday in Buffalo.

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.
