Report: Maple Leafs the favorite for Lithuanian goaltender Mantas Armalis

The Toronto Maple Leafs appear to have their eyes on James Reimer's potential replacement.

Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported during "Saturday Headlines" that the Maple Leafs are the front-runner for goaltender Mantas Armalis.

According to Friedman: "A couple teams, Toronto believed to be among them, and Carolina, but Toronto is believed to be the favorite, for a Lithuanian, Swedish trained goaltender named Mantas Armalis."

The 23-year-old currently resides with Djurgardens IF of the Swedish Hockey League. In 34 games this season, Armalis has a 2.42 GAA and a .918 save percentage.

On Mantas Armalis: Lithuanian-born, Swedish trained goalie who doubles as, yes, a male model. Big guy (6'3-ish), having a strong year...

Armalis is certainly getting his looks, if not only because he is also a male model.
