Maple Leafs Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

Coach Ron Wilson might have to tear up his goaltending plans for the next week, but it's for a good reason.

He went with James Reimer on Saturday in Ottawa after the latter's 1-0 performance earlier in the week against Pittsburgh, and it paid off with the club's second straight shutout. Reimer stopped a team season-high 49 pucks in a 5-0 whitewash of the Ottawa Senators, almost double the shots in the Penguins' game. He is the first Leaf netminder since Ed Belfour in 2003-04 to get consecutive shutouts.

Jonas Gustavsson hadn't been playing poorly up to a 4-3 shootout loss in Pittsburgh on Tuesday. In fact, he'd missed but one start in January, as well as losing a few.
