Panthers' James Reimer: Defending cage Thursday

Reimer will be between the pipes against the Coyotes on Thursday, David Dwork of CBS Miami reports.

Analysis:

Reimer's tailspin continues -- he's gone 2-6-1 as the No. 1 goalie for the Panthers. The organization certainly has to be pained by the fact that it's on the hook to pay the netminder for another four years at $3.4 million annually, considering how he's flopped with Roberto Luongo (lower body) sidelined.
