James Reimer, once again, took the worst of a net-front collision. Hopefully, this one Erik Haula Jersey turns out better for the Toronto Maple Leafs goalie.Reimer left the Leafs' game against the Carolina Hurricanes after just 32 seconds, when teammate Josh Leivo accidentally hit him on the side of the head.
