The Red Wings brought in James Reimer to back up goaltender Vile Husso last season but after Husso's injury, Alex Lyon stepped up as the number 1 goaltender.
Reimer struggled for the majority of the season but finished on a high note, winning his last 5 of 6 games. Overall, Reimer put up a 3.11 GAA and .904 save percentage in 25 games with a 11-8-2 record.

While these numbers are not incredible, they are definitely solid for a back up who was only making $1.5 Million.
Since Reimer will now be a free agent, it will be interesting to see if he is brought back, given that both Lyon and Husso are healthy.
