Panthers' James Reimer: Will assume home net against Stars

Reimer will command the crease Saturday as the home starter versus the Stars, Steve Goldstein of Fox Sports Florida reports.

Analysis:

With the NHL playoffs looming -- and your fantasy league's postseason likely to come even sooner -- Reimer will be worth keeping tabs on as he's in line to see a heavy workload down the stretch. Starting goalie Roberto Luongo has sustained a lower-body injury that will keep him out for approximately one week, and there's no telling how much more his 37-year-old body can take this late in the season. Reimer has only secured 12 wins in 28 starts, but his save percentage of .922 shows that he's been fairly good between the pipes. His next draw comes against a Dallas team ranked 22nd in the league in road scoring at 2.38 goals per game -- this makes him an attractive DFS target.
