Bernier was the first goalie off the ice Tuesday, suggesting he'll start against the Senators, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier's 5-4-2 despite an ugly 3.17 GAA and .892 save percentage. He has a nice opportunity to improve that record against an Ottawa team that has joined Detroit in the bottom five of the league standings, but Bernier's floor remains low regardless of opponent.

Bernier let in three goals on 31 shots in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Kings on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier needed to protect a 2-1 lead for the final 17 minutes of the third period. Adrian Kempe beat him for the equalizer with less than two minutes to go, and Alex Iafallo completed the Kings' comeback 23 seconds into overtime. Bernier fell to 5-4-2 with a 3.17 GAA and an .892 save percentage. The 31-year-old goalie seems to be coach Jeff Blashill's preferred option right now -- Bernier has started seven times to Jimmy Howard's one in November.

Per Dana Wakiji of the Red Wings' official site, Bernier was the first goalie off the ice at morning skate, indicating he'll start between the pipes in Thursday night's road matchup with the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier has been on a roll recently, picking up three straight wins while posting a 2.33 GAA. The 31-year-old backstop will try to secure his sixth victory of the season in a road matchup with an L.A. squad that's only averaging 2.88 goals per game at home this year, 25th in the NHL.

Bernier stopped 24 of 27 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win versus Anaheim.

EDGE Analysis

That's three wins in a row for Bernier, who had been winless in seven starts prior to this stretch. His save percentage is still a modest .905 during this winning streak so don't get carried away with expectations, but Bernier appears to be separating himself from Jimmy Howard in terms of workload share. If he can continue to provide the Red Wings with some consistency, he could claim the lion's share of the starts.

Bernier is the confirmed road starter for Tuesday's matchup against the Ducks, Helene Elliott of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, coach Jeff Blashill will ride the hot hand, as Bernier has won back-to-back games and posted a .915 save percentage. The Ducks have lost three consecutive home outings and posted exactly two goals in each contest, so Bernier has a good shot at a third straight victory.

Bernier is expected to patrol the road crease in Tuesday's game against the Ducks, Dana Wakiji of the Red Wings' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Assuming he indeed plays, this will be Bernier's third straight start. The Red Wings have struggled to bag wins this year, so they're going to ride the hot hand. Bernier has won two straight games and posted a respectable .915 save percentage in the process. Meanwhile, the Ducks have dropped three straight decisions and scored exactly two goals in each contest.

Bernier made 17 saves in a 3-2 win over Vegas on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

It wasn't the busiest night for Bernier, but the outcome was in question until teammate Anthony Mantha broke a 2-2 deadlock with 31 seconds left in the third period. Neither Bernier nor Jimmy Howard has played particularly well between the pipes for the Red Wings, but Bernier has now won consecutive starts after enduring a seven-game winless slump (0-6-1). Bernier will take a 4-4-1 record into next week's West Coast road trip along with a 3.21 GAA and .891 save percentage.

Bernier will guard the home cage in Sunday's game against the Golden Knights, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier was a main reason the Red Wings took down the Bruins 4-2 on Friday, as he steered away 26 shots. He has rarely performed that welll this season, however, as he sports an .891 save percentage and 3.34 GAA. Bernier will look for a second straight win against a slumping Golden Knights squad that has dropped four of the past five outings while averaging 2.4 goals per game.

Bernier stopped 26 of 28 shots in a 4-2 win over Boston on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier turned in an impressive performance, handing the Bruins just their second loss in the last eight games while snapping his own personal seven-game winless streak (0-6-1). He had gone nearly a full month without winning a game, with his last victory coming Oct. 10 at Montreal. The 31-year-old is now 3-4-1 on the season with a rough 3.34 GAA and .891 save percentage, but more performances like Friday's will certainly lead to a greater share of the workload.

Bernier will defend the blue paint during Friday's home matchup with the Bruins, MLive.com's Ansar Khan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier has struggled this season, posting a 2-4-1 record while registering a sub-par 3.51 GAA and .887 save percentage through his first nine appearances. The 31-year-old backstop will look to start righting the ship in a tough home matchup with a Boston team that's gone 6-1-0 in its last seven games.
