[James Reimer](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54304/james-reimer?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) has been cleared by doctors to play and is expected to back-up [Jonas Gustavsson](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/72169/jonas-gustavsson?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) tonight in Boston. Reimer, when asked by the G&M's James Mirtle [about his return](http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/hockey/leafs-beat/reimer-cleared-to-play-saturday-against-the-bruins/article2258223/?utm%5Fmedium=Feeds%3A%20RSS%2FAtom&utm%5Fsource=Leafs%20Beat&utm%5Fcontent=2258223), could hardly contain his happiness:

"I'm ecstatic," Reimer said. "You know, I love to play. This is what I love to do. To be able to get back in the lineup and even just back practising was great."

With [Colby Armstrong](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/55445/colby-armstrong?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) nearing a return as well, it appears the Leafs are closing in on a mostly healthy roster. Hopefully the Leafs can run off a string of games without losing anyone else to IR.
