According to Ansar Khan of MLive.com, Bernier was in the starter's net during morning skate, indicating he'll be between the pipes for Tuesday's home matchup with Montreal.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier wasn't great in his last start Friday against the Stars, allowing three goals on 26 shots en route to his 14th loss of the season. He'll try to get back in the win column in a favorable home matchup with a free-falling Canadiens club that's lost six straight games.

Bernier gave up three goals on 26 shots in a 4-1 loss to the Stars on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier was left out to dry as two of the three goals he allowed were due to defensive miscues. He dropped to 8-12-2 with a 3.04 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 26 games this season. The Red Wings wrap up their road trip Sunday in Chicago -- a starting goalie has yet to be named for that contest.

Bernier led the Red Wings onto the ice, indicating he will protect the road goal Friday versus the Stars, Matthew DeFranks of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier is coming off of a 34-save shutout over the Sharks in his last appearance. The 31-year-old faces a Stars team that has won its last three games and scored 20 goals over its last seven. It'll be tough to trust Bernier from a fantasy perspective despite the fact that he's only allowed nine goals in his last six outings (five starts).

Bernier turned aside 34 pucks in a 2-0 win over San Jose on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old snapped a three-game losing skid while pitching his first shutout of the 2019-20 campaign. Bernier has come out of the Christmas break with two strong starts, stopping 71 of 73 shots (.973 save percentage) in those appearances. Bernier is 8-11-2 on the season with a 3.05 GAA and a .905 save percentage.

Bernier will defend the blue paint during Tuesday's home game versus the Sharks, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier was sharp in his return to action Sunday against Tampa Bay, stopping 37 of 39 shots, but he ultimately suffered his 13th loss of the season due to a lack of goal support. The 31-year-old netminder will attempt to pick up his eighth victory of the campaign in a favorable home matchup with a struggling San Jose team that's gone 1-3-1 in its last five games.

Bernier (groin) allowed two goals on 39 shots in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

The goalie missed two games with the groin injury. Bernier was tested often by the Lightning, but it was a quality performance despite the result. He dropped to 7-11-2 with a 3.19 GAA and a .900 save percentage through 24 appearances. Expect the 31-year-old to assume a majority of the starts for the Red Wings going forward.

Bernier will guard the road cage against the Lightning on Sunday, Dana Wakiji of the Red Wings' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Bernier will draw the tough Lightning offense after Jimmy Howard allowed five goals to the Panthers on Saturday. Bernier has registered a 2.26 GAA and .938 save percentage over his last four starts, but still owns a 3.24 GAA and .897 save percentage for the season.

Coach Jeff Blashiill said "Bernier is available to play [Sunday]," Dana Wakiji of the Red Wings official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Blashill didn't confirm whether Bernier would be the starting goalie in Sunday's road game against the Lightning, but considering Jimmy Howard played in Saturday's loss to the Panthers, Bernier looks on track to patrol the blue paint. Calvin Pickard is still with the big club, however. Bernier hasn't been impressive in December, recording a .906 save percentage and 2-3-0 record, and we may need to wait until warmups commence at 6:30 p.m. ET before knowing if the veteran netminder gets the nod.

Bernier (groin) is expected to be ready to return Sunday against Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier will miss a second straight game Saturday against Florida, but he should be available against the Lightning. Once he's given the green light, the 31-year-old vet will return to his role as Detroit's No. 1 netminder.

Bernier (groin) will not dress for Sunday's game versus the Coyotes, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier suffered the groin injury early in Saturday's game versus the Maple Leafs. Jimmy Howard (groin) will start Sunday's game with Calvin Pickard serving as the backup. Bernier will have a week to heal up before the Red Wings' next game on Dec. 28 against the Panthers.
