Panthers' James Reimer: Outstanding in relief loss
Reimer made 35 saves on 36 shots in relief of Roberto Luongo on Thursday, only to take a 2-1 shootout loss in Philadelphia.
Analysis:
Sure, he blew a 1-0 third-period lead and then allowed two shootout tallies, but it's hard to blame a guy who stopped 35 shots in 45 minutes of game action. Luongo's set to miss about a week to the injury he suffered in this one, so Reimer can be expected to start Saturday against Dallas and Tuesday against the Rangers at minimum.
