Senators' James Reimer: First loss in last five starts
Reimer made 23 saves in a 4-2 loss to Tampa Bay on Saturday.
Reimer's team staked him to a 2-0 lead by the 4:25 mark of the first period, and the game was tied 2-2 until the 8:51 mark of the third. Optimus Reims has been steady for the Sens since he signed earlier in 2026, and he gave them a chance at a win against the Bolts. He had won four straight games before Saturday; the four goals against Tampa Bay equaled the number he had allowed in the four previous, which included one shutout.

Senators' James Reimer: Not busy in Monday's win
Reimer made eight saves in Monday's 2-1 win over the Rangers.
Despite losing both Thomas Chabot (arm) and Lassi Thomson (lower body) during the contest, Ottawa's defense throttled New York's offense, and the Senators wound up outshooting the home side 33-9.

Senators' James Reimer: Wins third straight
Reimer made 17 saves in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Islanders.
His defense did a good job of stifling the visitors' offense, especially late as Ottawa rallied from a 2-1 deficit -- Reimer faced just one shot in the final 20 minutes. The 38-year-old netminder hasn't seen much work of late behind Linus Ullmark as the Senators push for a playoff spot, but he's gotten the job done when called upon. Reimer has won his last three starts dating back to Feb. 5, allowing just three goals on 51 shots (.941 save percentage) during that time.

Reimer will patrol the crease at home versus the Islanders on Thursday, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.
Reimer will make just his second appearance in the Senators' last 11 contests. In that lone outing, the 38-year-old netminder stopped all 16 shots he faced in a victory over the Canucks.

Senators' James Reimer: Posts 16-save shutout
Reimer stopped all 16 shots he faced in Monday's 2-0 win over the Canucks.
If there was a game where Reimer could've earned his first shutout of the season, this was it -- he didn't have a lot of work against one of the worst offenses in the league. Reimer has won three of his last four starts dating back to Jan. 28, going 3-1-0 with a 1.75 GAA and an .899 save percentage over that span. Reimer should remain the No. 2 option between the pipes behind Linus Ullmark, though, so his fantasy role remains limited and matchup-based until further notice.

The Flyers are tied for 21st in the NHL with 2.93 goals per game this year.

Senators' James Reimer: Comes up short in Carolina
Reimer made 14 saves in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Hurricanes.

Senators' James Reimer: Takes down Avalanche
Reimer stopped 16 of 18 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.
The Avalanche were far from their best, but Reimer was up to the challenge to keep them from being opportunistic.

The Senators' next game is Saturday at home versus the Devils.

Reimer has lost his last two starts while allowing four goals in each of those outings. He's 1-2-1 with a 3.32 GAA and an .871 save percentage in four appearances with Ottawa this season.

Senators' James Reimer: Falls to 'Canes
Reimer stopped 15 shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to Carolina.
The veteran netminder looked a little shaky on a Taylor Hall goal in the first period, as a fairly harmless-looking shot found its way through Reimer's five-hole, but he had little chance on the other three pucks that got past him. Reimer hasn't done much to stabilize the Sens' crease since joining the team, going 1-2-1 in four starts with a 3.32 GAA and .871 save percentage, but he'll continue to carry the load until Linus Ullmark (personal) is ready to get back into the lineup.

Reimer was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports, indicating he will protect the home net against Carolina on Saturday.
Reimer stopped 22 of 26 shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to Nashville, with the fifth goal being an empty-netter. He has a 1-1-1 record while surrendering nine goals on 82 shots through three outings with Ottawa this season.

Senators' James Reimer: Beaten four times
Reimer stopped 22 of 26 shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Predators. The fifth goal was an empty-netter with 27 seconds left in the game.
Reimer was coming off his first win of the season, but he wasn't able to repeat that outcome. The 37-year-old is likely to remain as the Senators' No. 1 goaltender while Linus Ullmark (personal) remains away from the team, and Leevi Merilainen was sent to AHL Belleville earlier this week. Reimer is 1-1-1 with a 3.02 GAA and .889 save percentage in three appearances this season since signing with the Senators on Jan. 12.

The 37-year-old netminder picked up his first win of the season in his second start for the Senators. Reimer has allowed five goals on 56 shots in his first two outings and will get a look as the No. 1 in net for Ottawa while Linus Ullmark (personal) remains unavailable.

Senators' James Reimer: Slated for second straight start
Reimer will defend the road crease in Tuesday's game against the Blue Jackets, per Julian McKenzie of The Athletic.
Reimer will look to build off a decent debut, where he helped earn the Senators a point in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss in Detroit. With Leevi Merilainen sent down to the AHL on Tuesday, Reimer will likely be viewed as the No. 1 option between the pipes for Ottawa until Linus Ullmark (personal) returns to action. Tuesday's game has Reimer pitted against the Blue Jackets, who rank 20th in the league with 2.98 goals per game.
