Reimer made 32 saves in a 5-4 overtime win over Toronto on Saturday.

It was his 500th NHL game and first start since March 28. Reimer surrendered Auston Matthews' 69th goal, which tied Mario Lemieux's mark from 1995-96, but the veteran netminder put on a show in the third with several huge saves to ensure overtime. The Wings stayed in contention for a wild-card spot with the win, but Detroit has lost seven of its last 10 games. The Wings play the Habs back-to-back starting Monday night, so Optimus Reims will likely be in the blue paint for one of those crucial games.
