Reimer stopped 21 of 25 shots in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Flyers.
The Flyers scored a goal after the Sabres' empty-netter, but Reimer was able to guide this win across the finish line. The 37-year-old goalie won eight of his last 10 outings this season, though there were some bumpy performances in that stretch. Overall, he ends the campaign at 10-10-2 with a 3.04 GAA and an .896 save percentage over 24 outings between the Sabres and the Ducks. After the game, Reimer told reporters he and his family would take a couple of weeks to decide if he'll continue his playing career, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports. If he comes back for another year, he'll be an unrestricted free agent July 1.

Sabres' James Reimer: Tending twine Thursday
Rotowire
Reimer will guard the home goal Thursday versus the Flyers, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.
Reimer took over the No. 1 job for the Sabres late in the season, but he has lost his previous two outings, allowing 10 goals on 61 shots in that span. The 37-year-old goalie had previously won seven games in a row. He'll have a favorable matchup Thursday for fantasy managers looking to make a final push in the goaltending categories.

Sabres' James Reimer: Lit up for seven goals
Rotowire
Reimer stopped 24 of 31 shots in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Lightning.
This was the second half of a back-to-back set for the Sabres, and Reimer didn't play well behind a likely tired team. This is just his second bad performance since taking over as the primary goalie March 20. He's 7-3-0 in that span, putting him at 9-10-2 with a 2.99 GAA and an .898 save percentage over 23 appearances between the Sabres and the Ducks. Reimer will likely get at least one more start in 2024-25.

Sabres' James Reimer: Win streak ends Thursday
Rotowire
Reimer turned aside 27 shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.
The Sabres grabbed a 2-0 lead in the first period, but the team's offense went cold after that as the Jackets came roaring back in the third. Reimer saw his seven-game win streak snapped, but he's still allowed more than three goals only once in nine outings since taking over as Buffalo's No. 1 netminder, posting a 2.55 GAA and .916 save percentage during that stretch.

Sabres' James Reimer: Secures sixth straight win
Rotowire
Reimer stopped 22 of 24 shots in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Lightning.
Reimer has earned six straight wins, a span in which he's allowed 17 goals. He limited the damage to Brayden Point and Gage Goncalves tallies in the second period and turned aside both of the Lightning's shootout attempts to secure the win. Reimer is now 8-8-2 with a 2.93 GAA and an .899 save percentage over 20 appearances between the Sabres and the Ducks this season. He's been the Sabres' starter in seven of the last nine games, but he'll likely cede the crease to Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen in Sunday's contest versus the Bruins.

Sabres' James Reimer: Manning crease Saturday
Rotowire
Reimer will guard the home crease in Saturday's game versus the Lightning, according to Heather Engel of NHL.com.
Reimer's on a five-game winning streak, posting a 3.00 GAA and a .904 save percentage in that span. Those ratios suggest he's had a bit of luck on his side. He's defeated four playoff-caliber teams in that span, including both conference leaders. However, the Lightning should still be capable of putting up a battle even after clinching their playoff spot due to the Rangers' 4-0 loss to the Devils on Saturday.

Sabres' James Reimer: Wins fifth straight start
Rotowire
Reimer turned aside 33 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Senators.
The 37-year-old has, improbably, been one of the hottest goalies in the NHL of late. Reimer has started five of the Sabres' last six games and won all five, although his 3.00 GAA and .904 save percentage during the winning streak are more sturdy than stellar. He's benefitted from the resurgence of the Buffalo offense, as the team has averaged 5.6 goals in the five victories.

Sabres' James Reimer: In goal Tuesday
Rotowire
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.

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.

Reimer will have a tough matchup against a Winnipeg team that averages 3.46 goals per game, the third-best mark in the league.
