Bernier was initially expected to start Monday against Dallas, but ultimately served as James Reimer's backup in the contest due to the bumps and bruises he collected in Saturday's tilt against the Penguins. He's apparently still feeling the effects of those dings, as the Leafs recalled goaltender Antoine Bibeau from AHL Toronto on an emergency basis Tuesday in case Bernier is unable to backup Reimer on Wednesday against Winnipeg. If the 27-year-old netminder truly is only dealing with bumps and bruises, he should be ready to return to action Friday against the Red Wings.
