Bernard-Docker scored a goal on two shots and blocked four shots in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Bernard-Docker opened the scoring at 4:09 of the first period. The defenseman has three goals and an assist over his last eight games, though he was also scratched for one contest in that span. He may not be an everyday part of the lineup when Artem Zub (illness) is available again. Bernard-Docker is at eight points, 16 shots on net, 71 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 30 outings, playing primarily on the third pairing.

Bernard-Docker netted a goal in a 6-2 loss to New Jersey on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Bernard-Docker found the back of the net midway through the third period, but his marker merely narrowed the Devils' lead to 5-2. The 23-year-old defenseman has three goals and six points in 26 contests this year. Bernard-Docker is likely to remain more noteworthy for his blocks -- he contributed four Friday, bringing him up to 66 this season -- than his offensive production.

Bernard-Docker scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Bernard-Docker had gone six games without a point since his first NHL tally versus the Maple Leafs on Dec. 7. The defenseman's second goal came on a shot that deflected off an Avalanche defender in the second period. Bernard-Docker is up to five points, 11 shots on net, 52 blocked shots, 17 hits and a plus-3 rating through 23 appearances this season. He'll likely continue to operate in a bottom-four role.

Bernard-Docker scored a goal in a 4-3 loss to Toronto on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
It was his first NHL goal on a slapper from the point in the third period. Bernard-Docker has played a handful games in each season since 2020-21, but it took 48 games to tickle the twine. The defender plays a quiet, puck-moving game and isn't known for offense, so don't skip off to the wire to pick him up.
