A former Toronto Maple Leafs goalie looks to be getting one more crack at the NHL. That shot will be coming with a division rival, however. On Thursday night, Darren Dreger reported the Ottawa Senators would be signing former Maple Leafs netminder James Reimer to an AHL Professional Tryout contract. The news comes as no surprise following the Senators' debacle in Colorado. The @Senators have signed veteran goalie James Reimer to an AHL PTO. Expect Reimer to report to Ottawa in a few days with an NHL contract. Ultimately, the hope is Reimer will provide good backup to Linus Ullmark when he returns from Personal Leave.- Darren Dreger (@DarrenDreger) January 9, 2026

What is the plan for Easton Cowan moving forward? Berube: Just keep working and keep practicing. He has had a good camp. No decisions have been made. That is where we are at. How do you make the final decision? Berube: You have to look at where your team is. Does he help us right now? What is best for him? He's a young kid, but we liked him in camp. He is here right now.

How well do you know James Reimer, if at all? Berube: He's an NHL goalie. He's been an NHL goalie. I have never met the guy. When do you expect Reimer to join the group? Berube: Tomorrow. Does this suggest that Joseph Woll might take a little bit longer than expected to return? Berube: No, it doesn't suggest anything. It is just depth.
