Panthers' James Reimer: Manning crease Thursday

Reimer will be in goal for Thursday's meeting with Toronto, Mark Masters of TSN reports.

Analysis:

Reimer will be making his sixth start of the year, which probably exceeds most preseason expectations, given that Roberto Luongo's usually good for 60-plus games. The Panthers may turn to their capable backup often in order to keep Luongo fresh for the postseason, which would elevate Reimer's fantasy value.
