Lu and Reimer both started 39 games in the 2016-17 campaign, splitting the workload throughout Luongo’s injury struggles. A career high for Reimer and in the process he respectively earned the title of “1A”.
The Panthers can keep holding on to the “1A, 1B” theory, but it’s hard to avoid that Luongo is aging and did not look the same this past season. Whether this was due to injury or being rushed back, it leaves some question marks in-goal for the Cats.
Who will be the number one goaltender?
This will be interesting as the season approaches as 2016-17 is such a bad sample size to work with.
