TORONTO – Goaltender James Reimer is back with the Toronto Maple Leafs after signing with the NHL club on a professional tryout.
Reimer’s tryout comes after Joseph Woll took an indefinite leave of absence from the Leafs earlier this week for personal reasons.
The 37-year-old Reimer, from Morweena, Man., is entering his 16th NHL season after posting a 10-10-2 record over 22 games with Buffalo and Anaheim last season.
Reimer broke into the league with the Maple Leafs in 2010-11, when he was promoted from the American Hockey League’s Toronto Marlies to address injuries and inconsistent play from the tandem of Jean-Sébastien Giguère and Jonas Gustavsson.
He went on to take the starting job and posted a 20-10-5 record with a 2.60 goals-against average and .921 save percentage over 37 appearances.
Reimer appeared in at least 32 games a season over six campaigns with the Leafs and posted an 85-76-23 record with a 2.83 GAA and .914 save percentage over 207 appearances (188 starts).
He was traded to the San Jose Sharks at the trade deadline of the 2015-16 season.
Reimer has a career record of 225-187-65 with a 2.89 GAA and .910 save percentage over 525 games (479 starts) with Toronto, San Jose, Florida, Carolina, Detroit, Anaheim and Buffalo.
