Reimer played with the Red Wings last year, going 11-8-2 with a 3.11 GAA and .904 SV% in 25 games (20 starts). The Sabres will be Reimer's sixth team in his 15-year career, and he allows the Sabres to send Devon Levi to the AHL if they choose, as Reimer would serve as Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen's backup. If Levi remains with the Sabres, Reimer could be in the mix for starts as the team's No.3 option.

With their playoff hopes on the line, the Red Wings will turn to Reimer on the tail end of a back-to-back set against the Montreal Canadiens. Reimer has only played once this month, a 5-4 overtime win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday when he saved 32 of 36 shots (.889 SV%). The Red Wings enter action as -186 road favourites.

Reimer has backed up for the Red Wings' previous two games but will look to extend his personal three-game win streak as he takes the crease on Thursday vs. Carolina. The 36-year-old veteran has emerged as potentially Detroit's best option between the crease lately due to his 9-7-2 record, 2.98 GAA and .907 SV%. He will head to Carolina to take on the Hurricanes, who have won six of their last eight games and are fourth in the NHL in shots per game (33.1).

The Red Wings will turn to Reimer for the third time in the last four games on Thursday against the New York Islanders. Reimer has been solid lately, winning two straight, including a 4-3 overtime victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday when he saved 32 of 35 shots (.914 SV%). The Red Wings, with Alex Lyon between the pipes, lost 5-3 to the Islanders on February 29th.

Unsurprisingly, the Red Wings will turn Reimer on Tuesday, partly resulting from Alex Lyon's abysmal netminding lately. Reimer is responsible for the Red Wings' only victory in March, a 4-1 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday when he saved 25 of 26 shots (.962 SV%). The struggling Red Wings enter action as -164 home underdogs against the Columbus Blue Jackets.

The reeling Red Wings, losers of seven straight, will turn to Reimer between the pipes on Saturday afternoon against the Buffalo Sabres. Alex Lyon has struggled immensely lately, so a strong outing for Reimer could generate more opportunities for him down the stretch. The 36-year-old Reimer has played well lately, posting a 3-1-0 record and .930 SV% since the start of the new year.

Reimer will start the tail-end of a back-to-back for the Red Wings on Saturday, his first start since February 25th. The veteran netminder allowed two goals on 14 shots (.857 SV%) entering Wednesday's 7-2 loss to the Colorado Avalanche in relief of Alex Lyon but has won his last two starts, allowing only two total goals.

Reimer will make his first start since January 23rd and only his third of the new year on Saturday as he takes on the Flames in Calgary. The 35-year-old veteran moved up on Detroit's depth chart due to Ville Husso's week-to-week injury and will hope to improve on his 4-6-2 record, 3.22 GAA and .894 SV% on Saturday. He will take on the Flames, who have lost their last two games and are 16th in the NHL in goals per game (3.07).

Reimer gave up six goals on 31 shots in the Red Wings 6-3 loss in Minnesota on December 27th. Tonight he will give Alex Lyon a night off, after Lyon started seven straight games. After a strong start to the season, Reimer has been a disaster in his last 10 appearances, going 1-6-2 with an .875 SV%. He draws a tough assignment on Sunday, as he faces his former team in Toronto, as +178 underdogs.

Michael Hutchinson manned the crease in a 3-2 loss to the New Jersey Devils on Saturday, but the Red Wings will turn back to Reimer, who should be a mainstay between the pipes as long as Ville Husso and Alex Lyon are out of the lineup without injuries. Reimer allowed six goals on 43 shots (.860 SV%) in his last game but was able to record his first victory in his last nine outings. The Red Wings are +123 road underdogs against a Minnesota Wild club that has won three straight contests.

Reimer will start on Friday, the front end of a back-to-back, his third straight start since Ville Husso and Alex Lyon have been unable to suit up due to injuries. Reimer has a .888 SV% while being winless in his last eight appearances (0-5-2) and has not had a quality start since November 2nd. The Red Wings have faced struggles regardless of who is between the pipes, as they have lost four straight (0-4-0) and seven of their last eight (1-6-1). That said, they are -123 home favourites against a Flyers team that defeated them 1-0 less than a week ago and is coming off a 4-2 loss to the Nashville Predators last night.

Reimer made his first appearance on Saturday since November 16th, entering the game in relief, saving all 11 shots he faced in a 5-1 loss to the Ottawa Senators. Reimer regularly saw action in the Red Wings crease before Alex Lyon emerged and demanded starting time with his strong play. In seven games this season, Reimer has played mostly well, posting a 2.18 GAA and .922 SV% in the process. The Red Wings, however, are without Dylan Larkin and J.T. Compher and, as such, are sizeable +189 road underdogs against a Dallas Stars team that has lost three of four games.

With Ville Husso (personal) not travelling with the Red Wings to their Global Series event, James Reimer will take the crease Thursday as Detroit takes on Ottawa. The 35-year-old veteran netminder will be leaned on heavily by the Red Wings if Husso is out for long, and has a 2-2-1 record, .933 SV%, 1.80 GAA and 1 shutout this season. He takes on the Ottawa Senators, who have won two of their last three games and are third in the NHL in goals per game (3.85) and seventh in shots per game (33.0).

Reimer has served as the backup to Ville Husso in the Red Wings' last two games but will return to the crease on Thursday against the Montreal Canadiens. In four starts this season (2-2-0), Reimer has only one sub-.900 SV% outing and has been reliable between the pipes, registering a 1.52 GAA and .944 SV% along with one shutout. The Red Wings have followed up an early-season five-game winning streak by losing five of their last seven (2-4-1) but look poised for a strong performance against a Canadiens team amid a four-game losing streak (0-3-1).
