James Reimer mutually terminates contract with New York Rangers, Digi Mart USA News: A former Buffalo Sabres goalie is a free agent again after former Sabres netminder James Reimer mutually terminated his contract with the New York Rangers.
Reimer was placed on waivers by the Rangers earlier this week, with Joonas Korpisalo returning from injury for New York. Instead of heading to the AHL, Reimer will now be a free agent.
Reimer’s time with the Rangers did not go the way he had hoped. He made just one appearance for the team on Oct. 26 against the Los Angeles Kings, where he allowed three goals on eight shots.
He was also pulled during the first period of the matchup.
Reimer is a free agent again less than two weeks after signing with the Rangers. It will be interesting to see whether the 38-year-old netminder can find another opportunity or whether this could mark the end of his NHL career.
Reimer spent one season with the Sabres in 2024-25. In 22 games with Buffalo that campaign, he posted a 10-8-2 record, a .901 save percentage and a 2.90 goals-against average.
