The 22-year-old blueliner could be back with the big club prior to Wednesday's game against the Islanders if Artem Zub (lower body) and Nikita Zaitsev (finger) remain on injured reserve.

Bernard-Docker (ankle) will be in action versus Washington on Thursday, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bernard-Docker's return will help bolster the blue line after Nikita Zaitsev (lower body) and Erik Brannstrom (lower body) were both placed on injured reserve. The 22-year-old Bernard-Docker has been sidelined since Nov. 19 against New Jersey and has just one point in six contests. As such, fantasy players shouldn't be expecting the Alberta native to offer much in the way of fantasy value.

Bernard-Docker is "on the verge" of returning from his high ankle sprain, Ian Mendes of TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bernard-Docker has been sidelined for over a month with his high ankle sprain, but it sounds like his absence could be coming to an end sooner rather than later. The 22-year-old defender's picked up one helper through six NHL appearances this season.

Bernard-Docker (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Sunday, per CapFriendly.
EDGE Analysis
It was already announced that Bernard-Docker was expected to miss around a month of action with his ankle injury so this move will clear a roster spot for his replacement. The 22-year-old averaged 17:44 of ice time with nine hits in six games prior to getting injured.

Bernard-Docker will be sidelined for a month with a high ankle sprain, per Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun.
EDGE Analysis
Bernard-Docker logged an assist, nine hits, and six blocked shots in six games since he was called up to the Senators. The 22-year-old blueliner played 16:46 Saturday against New Jersey while apparently fighting through the injury. Jacob Larsson could slot into Bernard-Docker's third-pairing role unless the Sens make additional moves.

Bernard-Docker was called up from AHL Belleville on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Bernard-Docker has recorded one assist, six PIM and a plus-3 rating in eight minor-league contests this year. This won't be the defenseman's first elevation to the Senators' roster this season, though he has yet to get into an NHL contest. It seems unlikely Bernard-Docker will suit up against the Canucks on Tuesday, but if he does, it will likely come at the expense of Nick Holden or Nikita Zaitsev.
