globalnews.caHere’s the latest I can confirm about James Reimer from available sources up to May 2026.
Direct answer
- James Reimer is listed as an Ottawa Senators goaltender in 2025-26 and has been active with notable game appearances through the season. This is the most recent playoff/season-level information available publicly as of early May 2026.[3]
Context and recent developments
- In 2025-26, Reimer appeared in multiple games for Ottawa with solid results in relief roles and started as part of the Senators’ net, contributing as a veteran presence. The latest publicly reported performance shows a strong save percentage in limited starts during the season.[5][3]
- His career has seen him with several teams, including Detroit, Buffalo, Anaheim, and Toronto, with Ottawa representing his most recent NHL organization before the 2025-26 season. This reflects his journeyman status and lengthy NHL tenure.[4][6][3]
Notes and caveats
- Mainstream outlets have covered Reimer as a veteran goaltender evaluating next steps after the 2024-25 season, with discussions about his future potentially including retirement considerations after the 2025-26 season. If you want, I can pull the latest official team press releases or NHL transaction logs for the most current status.[3][5]
