Panthers' James Reimer: Taking on Blueshirts for third straight start

Reimer will take on the Rangers as Tuesday's home starter, the Sun Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

Roberto Luongo remains unavailable due to a lower-body injury, so it'll be the third consecutive start for Reimer. Interestingly, the Rangers have gone against the grain by converting on the power play at a far better clip on the road (21.1 percent, tied for eighth) than in New York (14.9, tied for 25th). However, Reimer has been tough to beat since the calendar flipped to 2017, as evidenced by a 2.22 GAA and .930 save percentage over 14 games. He'll be a decent flier in daily formats Tuesday, and he's also worth a speculative add in select season-long leagues due to the uncertainty regarding how long Luongo could be out.
