NHL: James Reimer, now 35 and pending UFA, is having to prove he can still play at a high level.
Reimer’s start Tuesday was arguably his strongest start of the season, making 41 saves — including a handful of the spectacular variety — to earn his third shutout of the year and lead the Sharks to a 3-0 victory over the Jets. The win was San Jose’s second win in the last 16 games, and just their seventh in 37 home games this season.
“I’ve still got the fire, so got the drive,” Reimer said Tuesday. “Still got that desire to compete.” San Jose Sharks goaltender James Reimer fist bumps San Jose Sharks mascot S.J.

Still, with the Sharks’ team save percentage ranking near the bottom of the NHL, general manager Mike Grier has said addressing the team’s goaltending woes will be one of his top offseason priorities. The Sharks have made clear their support of such initiatives and Reimer’s decision made headlines across North America.
