"The highlight of Reimer's career was definitely during Game 5 and Game 6 of the 2013 NHL Playoffs against the Boston Bruins. With the Leafs down 3-1 in the series, Reimer stopped 72 of 74 shots in Game 5 and 6, helping the team force a Game 7 on the road. I hate to talk about the down of his career, but it came one game later, when he was unfortunately in net for the worst collpase in Leafs history,"
"The 37-year-old split time with the Buffalo Sabres and Anahim Ducks last year and is many years removed from being a starting goaltender, but could be a nice insurance piece for the Leafs with Joseph Woll out. Speaking of which, the Reimer addition makes it feel like Woll won't be returning anytime soon, as the team switches to a veteran back-up and someone who can tandem with Anthony Stolarz."
James Reimer signed a professional try-out (PTO) with the Toronto Maple Leafs to provide goaltending depth while Joseph Woll is on a leave of absence. Reimer last played for the Leafs in 2015-16 and was a fan-favourite who previously split time with Jonathan Bernier. His standout moment came in the 2013 playoffs when he stopped 72 of 74 shots across Games 5 and 6 to force a Game 7, though he was in net during the subsequent Game 7 collapse. The 37-year-old spent last season with the Buffalo Sabres and the Anaheim Ducks and projects as a veteran backup and insurance piece behind Anthony Stolarz and Dennis Hildeby.
