Reimer makes 38 saves to lift Panthers over Senators 1-0
SUNRISE, Fla. — December has been a grueling endurance test for James Reimer. That reached its ultimate level on the second of back-to-back games Saturday night.
Reimer made 38 saves for his first shutout this season, Jonathan Huberdeau scored in the second period and the Florida Panthers beat the Ottawa Senators 1-0 for their third straight win.
Reimer got his first shutout since April 9 at Washington. He was playing in his ninth straight game and second in two nights after beating Minnesota 4-2 on Friday.
Reimer has been pressed into action since Dec. 4 when starter Roberto Luongo injured his lower body. He had to be at his best in the third period when Ottawa outshot Florida 18-8.
