He's coming home.
Goaltender James Reimer signed a professional tryout with the Toronto Maple Leafs, the team announced on Friday.
Reimer will head to training camp with the Maple Leafs down a goalie after Joseph Woll took a personal leave of absence.
Reimer, 37, began his career with five-plus seasons in Toronto before being traded to the San Jose Sharks midway through the 2015-26 season.
He played 207 games with the Canadian club, posting an 85-76-23 record with a .914 save percentage and 2.83 goals-against average.
Reimer enjoyed a career year in 2012-13, leading the Maple Leafs to the playoffs for the first time in the salary-cap era and collecting votes for the Hart Trophy as NHL MVP.
Since leaving the Maple Leafs, the Marweena, Man., native has bounced around the league, featuring stints with the Sharks, Florida Panthers, Carolina Hurricanes, Detroit Red Wings, Anaheim Ducks and Buffalo Sabres.
In 24 games last season, Reimer posted an .896 save percentage and 3.04 GAA.
