James Reimer stopped the first 31 shots he faced in an unexpected start as the Maple Leafs defeated the Oilers 5-1 on Saturday night to end an 11-game winless streak.

"The feeling you get at the end of the game when you've battled for 60 minutes and you're able to come up with a win, especially after the adversity we've faced, it's a good feeling," Reimer said. "It's a relief, and you feel really good about yourself."
