James Reimer recently sustained multiple injuries opposing the Minnesota Wild on Monday, thus ultimately forcing ‘Optimus Reim’ to exit the contest. Essentially, the Cats are left with their final hope in net: Finnish net minder Harri Sateri.
Reimer maintained a winning streak lasting a surprising five games, and started an astounding eleven consecutive games following Lu’s gruesome injury. However, James has clearly worn down physically, and evidently requires a prolonged break to fully recover from the recent head/neck injuries.
Harri Sateri was called upon in Monday’s beat down vs Minnesota, playing 23:07 minutes while stopping 13/14 shots (.
