The Sharks have acquired James Reimer and Jeremy Morin from the Maple Leafs for Alex Stalock, Ben Smith and a 2018 conditional 4th round pick.

With Alex Stalock struggling as Martin Jones’ backup, the Sharks were in search of goaltending help, so they acquired pending free agent Reimer. The 27-year-old has posted an 11-12-3 record with a 2.49 GAA and .918 SV% with Toronto this season, which is incredibly impressive when you consider the quality of team he played behind. He will undoubtably push Jones for more starts than Stalock did and becomes a stronger option now that he’s out of Toronto.

Bishop will start Friday in New Jersey.

Bishop allowed two goals on 31 shots in the Lightning’s win in Carolina on Sunday. Andrei Vasilevskiy started on Tuesday, but the Lightning will go back to Bishop tonight in New Jersey.
