Bernier stopped 21 of 23 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Bruins in preseason action.

EDGE Analysis

After a scoreless first period, Bernier got beat twice inside the first seven minutes of the second frame, but he slammed the door on Boston after that and gave Detroit's offense a chance to make the comeback. The veteran netminder will be the Wings' No. 2 this season behind 34-year-old Jimmy Howard, but it's a role that should come with a fairly significant workload for Bernier as the club tries to keep Howard from wearing down.
