Bernier stopped 40 of 44 shots in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier by no means had it easy in Thursday's game, but he benefited from the Red Wings' best goal total of the year. The 32-year-old improved to 7-5-0 with a 3.02 GAA and a .910 save percentage in 14 appearances. He's played better than Thomas Greiss -- Bernier is the stronger option in goal for the lowly Red Wings. They play the Hurricanes on Sunday and Tuesday in their next two games.
