Welcome back to playoff hockey, James Reimer.

After his team fell into a 4-0 hole to the St. Louis Blues in Game 4, San Jose Sharks head coach Pete DeBoer made the decision to pull Martin Jones in favor of Reimer, who hadn't appeared in the postseason in over three years.

While Reimer was the goalie of record as the Maple Leafs blew that fateful game in Boston, he did post a .923 save percentage over the course of that seven-game series with the Bruins, which represented the entirety of his playoff experience up until Saturday.

Jones allowed four goals on 19 shots, with the last two coming off the stick of Kyle Brodziak.
