EDGE Analysis
Bernier took a tough loss on Feb. 1, allowing just one goal on 31 shots after missing seven games with a lower-body issue. The Quebec native owns a 2.92 GAA and .907 save percentage alongside a 10-13-2 record in 29 contests this season.

Bernier made 30 saves in a 1-0 loss to the Rangers on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
It was his first game since Jan. 10 after missing seven games with a lower-body injury. Overall, the Wings played well, but they just can't be counted on for production. And that means Bernier must remain stapled to your bench.

Bernier will start Saturday's game at home versus the Rangers, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Bernier gets the start Saturday evening at home. The Red Wings netminder hasn't played since Jan. 10 but he won his last two starts before going down with an injury. Given Detroit's struggles this season, it's hard to trust any goalie the team starts, and Bernier is no exception.

Bernier (lower body) was activated from injured reserve and is expected to start Saturday versus the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Bernier has missed the last seven games, but he's good to go. Calvin Pickard has been sent down in a corresponding move. Bernier started five of six games prior to injury and looked like the Red Wings' No. 1 netminder, so he'll likely get the nod against the Blueshirts, who scored four goals on 39 shots against Jimmy Howard on Friday.

Bernier (lower body) is close to rejoining the action but isn't expected to be available for Friday's contest versus the Rangers, Dana Wakiji of the Red Wings' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bernier last took the cage Jan. 10 against the Senators, when he set aside 29 of the 31 shots he faced en route to his 10th win of the season. Either Jimmy Howard or Calvin Pickard should get the starting nod Friday, but Bernier could be back in the mix as soon as Saturday.

Coach Jeff Blashill said Bernier (lower body) will remain out until after the All-Star break, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bernier's next chance to return will be Jan. 31, but Blashill didn't seem confident in that timeline either. For the time being, Jimmy Howard is in line to start Tuesday versus the Islanders, but he's been struggling lately, so the Red Wings may afford Calvin Pickard a chance in the blue paint at some point.

Bernier was scratched for Sunday's contest against Buffalo with a lower-body injury, Dana Wakiji of the Red Wings' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The injury wasn't announced until after the game began, so it's unclear exactly how severe Bernier's injury is. An update should be available before Tuesday's contest against the Rangers.

Bernier allowed two goals on 31 shots in a 3-2 shootout win over the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Bernier couldn't protect a two-goal lead in regulation, but he was perfect from the third period on. He stopped 12 shots over the last 25 minutes and then turned aside all three Senators in the shootout to earn the win. Bernier improved to 10-12-2 with a 2.99 GAA and a .904 save percentage through 28 games this season. He's won three of his last four starts and should be favored to draw another start Sunday against the Sabres.

Bernier will protect the home net in Friday's game versus the Senators, Dana Wakiji of the Red Wings' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bernier is 2-2-0 with eight goals against and a shutout over his last four starts. The Senators have scored just 12 goals on their current five-game losing streak, making Bernier a solid choice for DFS lineups Friday.

Bernier made 23 saves on 26 shots in a 4-3 win over Montreal on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Bernier entered Tuesday's game with a 3-11-3 lifetime record against the Canadiens but secured win number four thanks to three third period goals by Detroit, handing Montreal its seventh straight loss. Bernier's record is now 9-12-2, meaning he still resides quite low on the list of playable fantasy netminders.
