Toronto Maple Leafs newly-signed goaltender James Reimer poked some stuff with captain Auston Matthews over the #34 jersey.Reimer, who played with the Maple Leafs for parts of six seasons, wore #34 before Matthews joined the club in 2016.

But Auston Matthews won’t be giving it up so easily. So, Reimer had this solution in mind:“We had a little bit of a tussle, and we kind of figured that probably Monday, in practice, we'll have a bout at centre. Winner takes the number.”The comments, as quoted by Sportsnet’s Luke Fox, show a comical side to the friendly rivalries that emerge among teammates. Reimer, of course, will not be wrestling the jersey number away from Auston Matthews.But the comments, nevertheless, highlight a playful side fans don’t always get to see from their favorite stars.The Maple Leafs signed Reimer to a Professional Tryout Agreement (PTO) earlier this week. The deal comes amid concerns regarding goalie Joseph Woll, who took a leave of absence. The Leafs moved quickly to bring back the former fan favorite to potentially back up incumbent Anthony Stolarz.James Reimer, Auston Matthews settle jersey number issue for nowReimers, who's worn #47 in previous seasons, will likely continue doing so in Toronto - Source: ImagnJames Reimer and Auston Matthews have apparently settled the jersey issue for the time being.
