Ben Scrivens was on the ice Saturday morning for Toronto's optional skate.

Ben Scrivens allowed five goals on 37 shots in a 5-1 defeat in Washington Tuesday night.

The Maple Leafs have lost the last five times Scrivens has appeared in a game, although he replaced James Reimer in the third period of one of those games.

Reimer is still considered the starter, but he hasn't been great since returning from injury. We'll see if Scrivens can halt the slide and gain some currency in the Leafs' goaltending battle.

Ben Scrivens allowed two goals on 27 shots Thursday as the Maple Leafs were beaten at home by a score of 3-1 to Pittsburgh.
Toronto was very close to taking home a 1-0 result, but Pittsburgh woke up in the second half of the final period and stole a victory. Although Scrivens has done an admirable job when given the opportunity this year, James Reimer is likely to see the bulk of the playing time for this team.

Ben Scrivens is projected to get the nod for Toronto against Pittsburgh Thursday night.

Scrivens was pretty much on his own all night, and he just wasn't able to get the job done. The 26-year-old has a 2.41 goals-against average and .923 save percentage on the season. This should open the door for James Reimer to get a look in the Maple Leafs next game on Thursday.

Ben Scrivens turned away 23 of 25 Philadelphia shots in a 4-2 win over the Flyers Monday.
Scrivens has been fantastic since James Reimer (knee) went down earlier in the month.

It looks like Ben Scrivens will get the start in net Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Ben Scrivens is projected to get the majority of Toronto's starts with James Reimer on the shelf for at least a week with a knee injury.
He has played very well in spurts so far this season and coach Randy Carlyle has faith in handing Scrivens the goaltender reigns. "Is (Scrivens) a backup, or is (he) a 1B?" asked Carlyle. "(Reimer and Scrivens are) both young. And at times, I can guarantee you people have had the assessment, 'Is it going to be Scrivens? Or is it going to be Reimer?' We weren't afraid to put (Scrivens) in the net (in the season opener)." He wouldn't name a starter for Thursday's game, but it would surprising if it wasn't Scrivens.

Leafs goalie coach Rick St. Croix is proving to be a valuable resource for the team's goalies.
James Reimer and Ben Scrivens are able to draw from his experiences as a player, a career that saw him play with the Flyers and Leafs. That's important for two inexperienced netminders. "It's always great to have a sounding board," Scrivens said. "What makes Rick a little bit unique for us is he played in this market. He knows about the outside noise. It's just a great way of talking to someone who's been through it before. He's had bad games, he's had great games before, and we're trying to soak up as much thought from him and his learning experiences, and hopefully we can learn from him without having to learn it ourselves the hard way."

Scrivens kicked out 21 of 22 shots in a 2-1 win against the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday. He's still a long way away from being regarded as the Leafs' clear number one over James Reimer, but Reimer owners should seriously consider picking up Scrivens to hedge their bets.

Ben Scrivens saved 21 of 22 shots in a 2-1 victory Saturday night.

Don't be surprised if Ben Scrivens gets the nod for Toronto on opening night against Montreal.
James Reimer has shown some rustiness at Leafs' training camp, even though he could pull it together when the team splits for scrimmages. Still, Scrivens has remained active during the lockout in the AHL, with the Marlies, where he has been among the league's top keepers. He has picked up his game after a slow start with six wins in his past seven starts, along with a shutout, a 1.71 goals-against average and a .935 save percentage. Scrivens' confidence and his game shape are high right now and that could give him an advantage over Reimer to start the season, but both are expected to see their fair share of starts if Toronto cannot find an upgrade in the trade market.
