James Reimer to start on Saturday

James Reimer will be between the pipes for the Panthers' home-opener against the Lightning on Saturday.

Fantasy Implications: Roberto Luongo started the first half of the home-and-home set against Tampa Bay yesterday, so Reimer will start the second half tonight. Although Luongo is considered the No. 1 goalie entering into this season's campaign, the duo will be in an essential time-share. The numbers posted by both in 2016-17 were nearly identical. The 38-year-old Luongo's days as a workhorse playing 60 plus games are over, meaning Reimer should see at least 30 starts this year.
