Bernier (lower body) left Saturday's game against the Maple Leafs and will not return to, Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier's return was originally deemed questionable, but Detroit ultimately ruled him out at the start of the second period. Calvin Pickard took over crease duties for the Red Wings. Detroit has another game Sunday, so it seems unlikely that Bernier will play a role in back-to-back games, especially if he's nursing an injury. The Red Wings are expecting Jimmy Howard (groin) back any day now, and there's a chance he's the team's starter against Arizona.

Bernier will get the nod for Saturday's road tilt versus Toronto, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier gave up four goals on 38 shots against the Blue Jackets his last time out, the ninth time he's allowed four or more goals in a game this season. The Maple Leafs are putting 33.4 shots on net per game, so it could be a busy night for the netminder. Once Jimmy Howard (groin) returns from his conditioning stint in AHL Grand Rapids, the pair figures to go back to splitting the workload.

Bernier made 34 saves in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Columbus' final goal was scored into an empty net. The Wings did take a 3-2 lead early in the second period, but Bernier couldn't make it hold up as his brief two-game winning streak came to an end. The 31-year-old is 7-10-2 on the year with a 3.26 GAA and ,896 save percentage, but he should remain Detroit's No. 1 netminder until Jimmy Howard (groin) gets healthy.

Bernier will defend the home goal in Tuesday's game against the Blue Jackets, Dana Wakiji of the Red Wings' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier won his last two starts in impressive fashion, steering away 68 of 71 shots against the Jets and Canadiens. The Blue Jackets are coming to town, and they've won two of the last four contests, tickling the twine 11 times in that stretch.

Bernier made 42 saves Saturday in a 2-1 win over Montreal.

EDGE Analysis

He was brilliant and carried the shutout into the final minute of the game. Bernier has now won two straight games and has allowed just three goals. It's tough to recommend him given the struggles the Red Wings face game in and game out. But Bernier could sneak out another win while he's this hot. It's a risk, but sometimes that's all you've got.

Bernier will make a road start Saturday against the Canadiens, Dana Wakiji of the Red Wings' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier has struggled lately, yielding a .892 save percentage and 3.44 GAA over his last five appearances, but he's still the team's most dependable backstop since Eric Comrie is simply a placeholder until Jimmy Howard (lower body) is back. The Canadiens ride a three-game winning streak into this contest, averaging three goals per game during that stretch.

Bernier made 26 saves in Thursday's 5-2 win over Winnipeg.

EDGE Analysis

Kyle Connor was the only Jets player able to solve Bernier, as the winger scored twice on eight shots. Bernier stopped every other puck sent his way, ending Detroit's 12-game losing streak. This was a nice result, but Bernier still can't be trusted with the worst team in the league skating in front of him.

Bernier will tend the home goal for Thursday's matchup with Winnipeg, Ken Wiebe of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier has struggled mightily in his past five starts, going 0-4-0 along with a 3.88 GAA and .882 save percentage. He'll take on a Winnipeg offense that ranks 18th in the league in goals per game this season (2.90).

Bernier allowed four goals on 23 shots before being pulled at 9:22 of the third period of Saturday's 5-3 loss to Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

The Wings are bad, but it's not all on the goalies. Bernier isn't getting much help from the team in front of him. The Wings are 0-9-2 in their past 11 games and have dropped nine straight in regulation. They've been outscored 33-8 in the last seven. Pass on Bernier.

Bernier will start Saturday against the Penguins, Josh Getzoff of PensTV reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier hasn't won since Nov. 12, so trusting him in fantasy is not advisable considering how much both he and the Red Wings have struggled to date. Scoring an average of 3.34 goals per game, Pittsburgh ranks fifth in the NHL, so Bernier will be in tough Saturday.
