Reimer will start in goal on the road versus the Senators on Tuesday, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.
Reimer has taken over the Sabres' No. 1 job in goal late in the season. He's started five of the last seven games, going 4-1-0 with a 3.22 GAA and an .895 save percentage in that span. The Senators are 3-2-1 with 13 goals scored over their last six games and will be without captain Brady Tkachuk (upper body), so Reimer may be a decent streaming option for fantasy managers.

Sabres' James Reimer: Concedes five goals in win
Rotowire
Reimer stopped 24 of 29 shots on net in Sunday's 8-5 win over the Capitals.
Despite the fact that Reimer allowed five goals on Sunday, he was able to outduel Washington's Logan Thompson in net to grab the win. Overall, the 37-year-old Reimer has a 6-8-2 record with a 3.06 GAA and an .895 save percentage in 18 appearances this season. While he has just six wins this season, Reimer has impressed as of late with four consecutive victories. If he can continue to post wins amid Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen's struggles, Reimer could have solid streaming value in fantasy given the right matchup. His next opportunity to guard the crease is Tuesday at Ottawa.

Sabres' James Reimer: Set to face Washington
Rotowire
Reimer will defend the road net against the Capitals on Sunday, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.
Reimer will get the second half of Buffalo's back-to-back after Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen played in Saturday's 7-4 loss to Philadelphia. The 37-year-old Reimer has stopped 85 of 93 shots during his three-game winning streak. He has a 5-6-2 record with a 2.71 GAA and a .905 save percentage through 15 appearances with the Sabres this season. Washington leads the league with 3.61 goals per game in 2024-25.

Sabres' James Reimer: Nabs third straight win
Rotowire
Reimer made 23 saves in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Penguins.
Two of the pucks that got past Reimer came in the third period after the Sabres had built a 7-1 lead, so it's understandable if the veteran netminder lost his focus a bit. Reimer has started three straight games and won all three, allowing eight goals on 93 shots (.914 save percentage) over that stretch. He's operating as Buffalo's No. 1 goalie at the moment ahead of Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, but it likely wouldn't take much for Luukkonen to regain the top spot.

Sabres' James Reimer: Starting again Thursday
Rotowire
Reimer will protect the home goal versus the Penguins on Thursday, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.
After consecutive wins over the Jets and Senators, Reimer will start for a third straight game. He allowed a total of five goals on 68 shots over those two contests. The Penguins are 1-2-1 with 12 goals scored over their last four games and won't have Evgeni Malkin (upper body) in the lineup, so Reimer has a decent chance of keeping the good times going.

Sabres' James Reimer: Sharp against Sens
Rotowire
Reimer stopped 30 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Senators.
The only two pucks to get past Reimer came on Ottawa power plays, and he was especially busy in the third period after Tage Thompson gave Buffalo its first and only lead of the game early in the frame -- the veteran netminder turned aside all 13 shots he faced in the third. Reimer has a 2.69 GAA and .918 save percentage while starting three of the last four games, giving Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen a chance to clear his head after the Sabres' No. 1 goalie stumbled to a 3.79 GAA and .857 save percentage through his first nine outings in March.

Sabres' James Reimer: Getting another start
Rotowire
Reimer will be between the pipes Tuesday at home versus the Senators, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.
Reimer will make his third start in four games. It's an opportunity he's earned after defeating the Jets on Sunday with a 33-save effort in a 5-3 victory. The 37-year-old is 2-4-1 with a 2.96 GAA and a .905 save percentage since the start of January, and the Senators will be hungry to keep pace in the playoff race.

Sabres' James Reimer: Earns win in spot start
Rotowire
Reimer stopped 33 of 36 shots in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Jets.
Reimer has started in two of the Sabres' last three games, giving up three goals each time but going 1-1-0 in that span. The 37-year-old veteran has made just five starts since the beginning of February, and while he hasn't exactly turned heads with his play, he's posted solid numbers. Reimer has gone 2-2-1 with a 2.90 GAA and a .903 save percentage over that span.

Sabres' James Reimer: Starting in Winnipeg
Rotowire
Reimer will guard the road net Sunday against the Jets, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.
It'll be just the second start in 10 games for Reimer -- he allowed three goals on 30 shots in a loss to Utah on Thursday. Overall, the veteran netminder is 2-6-2 with a .902 save percentage and 2.72 GAA this year. Reimer will have a tough matchup against a Winnipeg team that averages 3.46 goals per game, the third-best mark in the league.

Sabres' James Reimer: Does fine in loss
Rotowire
Reimer stopped 27 of 30 shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to Utah. The last two goals were empty-netters.
Reimer hadn't played since March 3 versus the Canadiens, so this game was as much about shaking off the rust for him ahead of this weekend's back-to-back as it was about resting Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen. Reimer put in a fine effort but still took his third straight loss (0-2-1) in the outing. He's now at 2-8-2 with a 3.00 GAA and an .895 save percentage over 14 appearances between the Sabres and the Ducks in 2024-25. Look for Luukkonen and Reimer to split the back-to-back as the Sabres face the Wild on Saturday and the Jets on Sunday.

Sabres' James Reimer: Drawing start in Utah
Rotowire
Reimer will start Thursday's road game at Utah, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.
Reimer will play for the first time since March 3 versus the Canadiens, when he stopped 16 of 20 shots in an overtime loss. The 37-year-old could get two starts in the next three games, as the Sabres' road trip ends with a back-to-back in Minnesota on Saturday and in Winnipeg on Sunday. Reimer has gone 2-7-2 with a 2.99 GAA and an .895 save percentage over 13 outings this season, so he's not a very strong fantasy option.

Sabres' James Reimer: Falters in OT
Rotowire
Reimer made 16 saves in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canadiens.
Montreal scored three times in the first period, but Reimer was able to regain his focus and shut the door for the final 40 minutes of regulation as Buffalo mounted a comeback to force OT. The veteran netminder flinched in extra time though, whiffing on a Mike Matheson shot from the top of the faceoff circle despite getting a clean look at it. It was the first time Reimer had given up more than three goals in an outing since Dec. 9, and over five starts since the calendar flipped to 2025, he's gone 1-3-1 with a 2.93 GAA and a .903 save percentage.

Sabres' James Reimer: Facing Montreal
Rotowire
Reimer is set to start on the road against the Canadiens on Monday, per Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550.
Reimer conceded two goals on 29 shots in his last start in a loss to Carolina on Thursday. The 36-year-old has a 2-5-1 record, .911 save percentage and 2.53 GAA across 10 appearances with the Sabres this season after a brief stint with the Ducks between waiver claims. Montreal sits 15th in the NHL with 2.97 goals per game.

Sabres' James Reimer: Takes loss in relief Thursday
Rotowire
Reimer stopped 27 of 29 shots after replacing Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen midway through the first period of Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
Reimer ended up getting saddled with the loss, as the first goal he gave up -- a Mikko Rantanen power-play tally that came less than two minutes after he took over the Buffalo crease -- proved to be the game-winner. Reimer hasn't allowed more than three goals in an outing since Dec. 9, and over his last seven appearances he's posted a sharp 2.30 GAA and .921 save percentage but has just a 1-4-0 record to show for it.

Sabres' James Reimer: On the ice for morning skate
Rotowire
Reimer (personal) was on the ice for Tuesday's morning skate, per Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550.
Reimer will probably back up Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen in Tuesday's home matchup versus the Ducks. Reimer is 2-4-1 with a .908 save percentage and a 2.55 GAA through nine appearances in 2024-25.

Reimer (personal) didn't participate in Monday's practice, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.
Reimer was given the day off to attend to a family issue but could be available for Tuesday's home matchup against Anaheim. If Reimer has to miss the game, Buffalo could recall Devon Levi from AHL Rochester to occupy the backup role behind Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen.

Sabres' James Reimer: Returns to win column Tuesday
Rotowire
Reimer stopped 27 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
The veteran netminder came up with some huge saves to secure his first win since Nov. 23. Reimer hasn't played poorly since being acquired by the Sabres despite the lack of success, posting a 2.55 GAA and .908 save percentage in nine outings for the club but only coming away with a 2-4-1 record in that time. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (undisclosed) was unavailable Tuesday, but with Buffalo off until Saturday, Reimer may not get an opportunity to follow up this performance until after the break for the 4 Nations Face-Off.

Sabres' James Reimer: Starting against Blue Jackets
Rotowire
Reimer will patrol the home crease against Columbus on Tuesday, per Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News.
Reimer has a 1-4-1 record with a 2.63 GAA and a .905 save percentage across his last eight appearances. Buffalo recalled Felix Sandstrom from AHL Rochester to occupy the backup role because Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (undisclosed) is unavailable. Columbus is tied for eighth in the league with 3.26 goals per game in 2024-25 but will be without integral offensive contributors Zach Werenski (undisclosed), Kirill Marchenko (jaw), Sean Monahan (wrist) and Yegor Chinakhov (upper body).

Sabres' James Reimer: Strong game not enough
Rotowire
Reimer made 31 saves Saturday in a 3-2 loss to Edmonton.
He played a strong game, and the Sabres probably deserved a better fate -- the team had a goal disallowed in the third period after the NHL's Situation Room determined the puck was kicked into the net. Reimer doesn't get a lot of starts, and he hasn't won since Nov. 23 against San Jose. He is a risky spot starter behind the worst team in the East and third-worst in the NHL.

Sabres' James Reimer: Set to face Edmonton

Reimer is expected to start on the road against Edmonton on Saturday, per Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News.
