James Reimer Starting Must-Win Game Tuesday
7 months agoDetroit Red Wings goaltender James Reimer is starting Tuesday's must-win game on the road against the Montreal Canadiens. The Red Wings need a win and a Capitals loss to the Flyers on Tuesday to get into the postseason. They are tied with Washington with 89 points, but the Caps hold the regulation-wins tiebreaker, therefore holding onto the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference entering play Tuesday. Reimer has posted a 3.07 goals-against average and a .905 save percentage across 24 outings (19 starts) on the season, going 10-8-2 in that time. Tuesday's start is just his second over the team's past nine games.
