Bernier is dealing with an illness, but is still expected to serve as the backup Friday against Florida, Elliott Teaford of the Southern California News Group reports.

EDGE Analysis

Even if he is healthy enough to suit up, Bernier will not be between the pipes for Friday's clash with the Panthers, so unless he is called into the game, he won't offer up any fantasy value. If the netminder is unable to give it a go, Anaheim may opt to utilize an emergency goalie rather than a last second recall from AHL San Diego.
