Overview
- Belleville confirmed Reimer’s AHL professional tryout as TSN reported Ottawa’s intention to sign and play him in the NHL within days.
- Reimer could take a brief AHL tune‑up before joining the Senators, which would be his first AHL action since 2010–11.
- The move follows an 8–2 loss to Colorado that included six second‑period goals, with Leevi Merilainen and Mads Sogaard combining for eight goals against.
- Ottawa owns the NHL’s worst team save percentage at .872, and management seeks experienced depth while Ullmark remains away for personal reasons.
- General manager Steve Staios denounced online rumors about Ullmark’s absence, and Ullmark was placed on non‑roster status as Ottawa activated Lars Eller.
