Bernier will defend the net Monday against the Panthers, Mark Masters of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier was sharp in his last start, stopping 32 of the 34 shots that came his way en route to a 5-2 victory over the Panthers, his 11th win of the season. The 27-year-old will face the same opponent Monday, looking to add to his success versus Florida (2.05 GAA, .938 save percentage) and recently (two goals or less in last six games). Considering those factors, he shouldn't be ruled out for daily or season-long formats.
