OTTAWA — The Ottawa Senators signed veteran goaltender James Reimer to a one-year contract on Monday.
The one-way deal with an average annual value of US$850,000 is for the remainder of the 2025-26 season, the team said in a statement.
Ottawa’s regular starting netminder, Linus Ullmark, has been on a personal leave for the last two weeks. Leevi Merilainen has carried the bulk of the workload during Ullmark’s absence with Hunter Shepard as the backup.
The 37-year-old Reimer made his NHL debut in December 2010 with Toronto. He spent his first eight seasons with the Maple Leafs.
