Florida Panthers: James Reimer is stepping up to the plate
Ever since Roberto Luongo went down with injury, James Reimer has stepped into the starting role. How has he fared for the Florida Panthers?
When the Florida Panthers‘ starting goalie, Roberto Luongo, went down with injury, there was some skepticism of how James Reimer would play now that he would take over the starting goaltending duties.
Many worried how Reimer would respond to his new role since he had struggled early on in the year when he was called upon in situations to start. Since Luongo had played at an elite level, there was also a concern that the Panthers’ record would suffer due to not having Luongo’s presences.
