Bernier will start the Maple Leafs' first two games, Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier had a relatively disappointing preseason for the Maple Leafs, posting just a 3.17 GAA and 88.2 percent save percentage in four games, but it wasn't enough for him to lose out to James Reimer for the starting goaltending job. If the preseason is any indication, Bernier's 213 shots against over four games could mean he's in for a peppering of shots on a nightly basis. However, he'll at least have the benefit of a consistent group of defensive pairings ahead of him that should stabilize the situation a bit more.
