James Reimer has been perfect for the Toronto Maple Leafs in his last two games.
Analysis: James Reimer has amassed seventy-four total saves in two shutout victories in his last two starts. These victories come against Pittsburgh and Ottawa, two playoff teams at the moment. Reimer does have a solid stat line on the year- a 9-5-4 win-loss record with a .912 save percentage.
Jonas Gustavsson has struggled recently for Toronto and it looks like the Leafs will ride Reimer’s hot hand at least for the time being. Gustavsson has allowed at least three goals in six of his last nine starts and appears to have fallen out of favor in Toronto.
Reimer is available in over forty percent of fantasy leagues but he is “the” goalie on the wire right now. Mathieu Garon may be racking up wins in Tampa lately but his goals against average has been pedestrian. Garon does at least offer the consistent starts you want from a lower tier fantasy goaltender. Garon has started seven of Tampa’s last eight games. Garon is widely available and with Tampa’s fire power you really do have to consider picking up Garon if only for the wins.
