In his last six starts, James Reimer has earned five wins and only one loss. Out of the five wins, two of those were shutouts for Reimer. The first shutout comes out of a game in Detroit against the Red Wings, where Reimer only needed to make 19 saves, the defensive play of the Hurricanes made the game easy for him, but lots of shots or little shots, he has been sharp.
His second shutout was a hard-earned 32-save shutout in Calgary against the red-hot Calgary Flames, who had won seven games in a row with their new coach Geoff Ward.
