This former Sharks goalie has landed a PTO.
Former San Jose Sharks goalie James Reimer is looking to continue his playing career.
According to TSN's Darren Dreger, the Ottawa Senators have signed Reimer to an AHL professional tryout (PTO). In addition, Dreger shared that Reimer is expected to join Ottawa in the next few days with an NHL contract.
Reimer landing this AHL PTO with the Senators comes with Linus Ullmark being on a leave of absence. In addition, Leevi Merilainen has had trouble handling the starting role during Ullmark's absence, so taking a look at an experienced goalie like Reimer makes plenty of sense for the Senators.
Reimer split this past season between the Anaheim Ducks and Buffalo Sabres. In 24 games during the 2024-25 campaign, he posted a 10-10-2 record, a .896 save percentage, and a 3.04 goals-against average.
In 99 games over three seasons and two stints with the Sharks, Reimer had a 37-40-18 record, a .903 save percentage, a 3.05 goals-against average, and seven shutouts. His most recent season with the Sharks was during the 2022-23 campaign.
