Panthers' James Reimer: Draws starting nod Friday

Reimer will defend the crease for Friday night's game in Anaheim.

Analysis:

Reimer draws the start after relieving Roberto Luongo on Wednesday. Luongo was suffering from cramps, but will be available as the backup Friday. Reimer was in decent form before getting shelled by the Kings in his last start -- he had allowed just one goal in each of his previous two victories, one of which was against the Ducks. He'll look to replicate that type of play against an Anaheim team that averages just 2.73 goals per game on home ice.
