Bernier will start in the crease Monday against the Avalanche, Paul Hendrick of Leafs TV reports.

EDGE Analysis

With both James Reimer and Garret Sparks injured, it's not a huge surprise that Bernier will once again be between the pipes for the Maple Leafs. Although it hasn't been announced, it wouldn't be surprising if he starts both games of a back-to-back set heading into the holiday break. The netminder will face a tough matchup Monday against one of the league's hottest goaltenders in Semyon Varlamov and an Avalanche team entering the tilt on a five-game winning streak.
