James Reimer Signs Professional Tryout With AHL Hartford

Veteran goaltender James Reimer has signed a professional tryout agreement with AHL Hartford to provide organizational depth. The move comes amid a severe goaltending crunch following Igor Shesterkin’s season-ending injury and Joonas Korpisalo’s lower-body injury expected to sideline him for four weeks. The 38-year-old Reimer brings 16 years of NHL experience, having most recently played for the Ottawa Senators during the 2025-26 season with a 7-4-2 record, .886 save percentage, and 2.42 GAA.
