James Reimer backstops Sabres to victory with 27-save effort
by Bruno Mulé | Maple Leafs Correspondent | Wed, Feb 5th 11:26am EST
James Reimer turned aside 27 shots in the Sabres' 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets on Tuesday, securing his first victory since Nov. 23. Despite the long winless stretch, Reimer has posted a respectable 2.55 GAA and .908 save percentage in nine outings with Buffalo, though his record in that span sits at 2-4-1.
Fantasy Impact:
Reimer has delivered solid numbers in a backup role but hasn't seen much goal support. With Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (undisclosed) unavailable Tuesday, Reimer stepped up, though he may not see another start until after the 4 Nations Face-Off break. His value remains limited to deeper formats where goalie depth is crucial.
