Panthers' James Reimer: Slated to start against Red Wings

Reimer will defend the net Sunday against Detroit, Harvey Fialkov of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

Reimer will make just his third start of the season for the Panthers, looking to improve on two subpar outings thus far, albeit against Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay. Sunday's opponent (Detroit) is no cakewalk either, since they just had their six-game winning streak snapped Saturday against Boston. However, Detroit has averaged just a mediocre 2.78 goals per game this season, which bodes well for Reimer.
