James Reimer picks up win
by Robert Finkelstein | Red Wings Correspondent | Sun, Oct 8th 11:04am EDT
James Reimer saved 26 of 30 shots to earn the win as the Panthers beat Tampa Bay 5-4 on Saturday.
Fantasy Impact:
Reimer allowed two early first-period goals to Nikita Kucherov and Vladislav Namestnikov, and a goal in each of the second and third periods, but the Panther offense came on strong to give the 29-year-old goalie the win. Though Reimer is considered the backup netminder to Roberto Luongo, the duo will be in somewhat of a timeshare this season. Expect Reimer to make at least 30 starts throughout the course of the campaign.
