[July 28, 2014]  (The Sports Xchange) - The Toronto Maple Leafs and goaltender James Reimer agreed to a two-year contract, the team announced Friday.

No financial terms were disclosed, but Hockey Night in Canada reported the contract has an average annual value of $2.3 million.

Reimer, a restricted free agent, and the Maple Leafs had a salary arbitration hearing scheduled on Monday.

Reimer, 26, went 12-16-1 with a 3.29 goals-against average and .911 save percentage in 36 games with the Maple Leafs in 2013-14, but finished the season by losing eight of his final nine decisions.

Ferraro is the son of former NHL player and current TSN broadcaster Ray Ferraro.
