G - Toronto Maple Leafs
Next Game
Eligibility
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.
James Reimer made 31 saves in the Sabres' 3-2 defeat against the Oilers on Saturday, delivering a strong performance despite the outcome.
Fantasy Impact
Reimer played well but was unable to secure the win, with the Sabres having a crucial third-period goal disallowed. The veteran netminder hasn’t recorded a victory since Nov. 23, making him a high-risk streaming option, especially behind a struggling team ranked near the bottom of the standings. Fantasy managers should approach with caution unless the matchup is particularly favorable.
James Reimer was brilliant in the net for the Red Wings Saturday, stopping all 38 shots faced and recording the shutout in a 5-0 win over the Flames.
Fantasy Impact

The veteran netminder will receive a modest workload behind No. 1 goaltender Ville Husso this season, carrying a .963 save percentage with one shutout in two starts (2-0-0) so far this season.

Fantasy Impact
