Reimer forced from game after Boyle clips him in the head

Florida Panthers goaltender James Reimer was hoping to stick it to his former team, the Toronto Maple Leafs, on Tuesday night, but he was forced from the game in the second period after a collision with forward Brian Boyle.

Reimer covered up a loose puck at the side of the net, and Boyle caught him on the head - accidentally, by the looks of it - as he skated around the cage.

The netminder was ruled out of the remainder of the game with an upper-body injury. He's had issue with concussions in the past. Reto Berra replaced him.

Reimer was actually unable to finish Monday's game in Buffalo, after he was collided with, again taking a shot to the head.

The Panthers are still alive in the Eastern Conference playoff race, but need every win they can get their hands on - and some help.
