SUNRISE (CBSMiami/AP) — The Florida Panthers have been relying heavily on their backup goalie after Roberto Luongo went down with an apparent groin injury.
That has led to December being 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.
