[James Reimer](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54304/james-reimer?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) is awesome, and now, he's getting league-wide recognition for it.

Reimer, alongside [Matt Duchene](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/72479/matt-duchene?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) and [Mats Zuccarello](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/111389/mats-zuccarello?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), was named one of the [NHL's stars of the week](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/nhl-twt/). While the two forwards earned their honours by scoring or setting up lots of goals, Reimer got his by doing the opposite: stopping them.

All in all, Reimer saw 105 shots over the past week, and stopped all but five of them for a .952 save percentage. Try as the [Dallas Stars](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/dallas-stars?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), [Nashville Predators](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/nashville-predators?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), and [Vancouver Canucks](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/vancouver-canucks?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) did, they simply couldn't solve the NHL's top goalie of the week, who led the [Maple Leafs](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/toronto-maple-leafs?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) to three straight victories.

Is Optimus Reim officially back? He's now up to a .925 save percentage for the season after some less-than-stellar games, and seems to have firm hold of the starter's reins now. If he can keep up his performance from last week - which will, admittedly, be difficult (those are some pretty intense percentages) - then there may be hope yet.
