Bernier allowed two goals on 11 shots in a relief appearance Monday in a 6-1 loss to Nashville.

EDGE Analysis

This result will not count against Bernier's season record, which will remain at 2-4-1 following yet another Red Wings loss. The veteran netminder has not won since Oct. 10, so starting Bernier in fantasy is to be avoided at all costs.

Bernier made 37 saves in a 4-0 loss to Florida on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier hasn't won since October 10 and his 3.42 GAA and .887 save percentage heading into play Saturday make him unplayable in almost every format. Bernier just doesn't have the luxury of allowing more than a couple goals a game. Bench him.

Bernier will start Saturday night against the Panthers, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier hasn't won since Oct. 10, so rolling with the Red Wings' netminder seems a risky proposition until he finds his way back into the win column. The Panthers, meanwhile, have played well of late, going 4-1-1 in their last five games, so Bernier will need to be sharp to come away with a win.

Bernier stopped 11 of 12 shots in relief of Jimmy Howard during Friday's 7-3 loss to the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Entering the game midway through the second period with Detroit down 5-2, Bernier gave up a short-handed marker early in the third before Carolina sent their final goal into an empty net. The Wings will continue their road trip Saturday against the Panthers, and the 31-year-old seems like the likely candidate to be between the pipes despite his unappealing 3.42 GAA and .887 save percentage.

Bernier stopped only 15 shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

The Detroit defense did a good job of keeping a weary St. Louis squad away from the net for the most part, especially at five-on-five -- two of the Blues' four goals in regulation came on power plays -- but Bernier couldn't hold up his end of the bargain. The veteran backup to Jimmy Howard is 2-3-1 with a rough 3.51 GAA and .885 save percentage, numbers which aren't going to earn Bernier many extra opportunities in net.

Bernier led his team on the ice for warmups and will start Sunday's home clash with the Blues, Dana Wakiji of the Red Wings' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier is looking to get back into the win column in the game, going 0-3-0 along with a 3.72 GAA and .896 save percentage in his past three starts. His team hasn't helped matters, as they rank fourth in the league in shots against this campaign (34.4). The veteran has had a tough time in his career against St. Louis, going 5-9-0 along with a .902 save percentage and 3.15 GAA.

Bernier stopped 33 of 37 shots in a 5-2 loss to Ottawa on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The Senators came into the game as the second-lowest-scoring team in the NHL, averaging just 2.17 goals per game, but they were able to get to Bernier four times (plus an empty-net goal). The 31-year-old has been splitting time with Jimmy Howard and has the slightly better numbers so far, going 2-3-0 with a 3.24 GAA and .902 save percentage. It's hard to recommend either one as an option, even if the matchup appears to be favorable.

Bernier was patrol the road crease for Wednesday's matchup against the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier has been solid platooning in a backup role behind starter Jimmy Howard, going 2-2-0 along with a 3.03 GAA and .905 save percentage in four starts. The 31-year-old will get a great matchup, facing an Ottawa offense that ranks second-to-last in goals per game this campaign (2.17). In eight career starts against Ottawa in his career, Bernier is 4-3-0 along with a stellar .931 save percentage in 2.26 GAA.

Bernier allowed two goals on 37 shots in a 2-1 loss to the Oilers on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

It was a good performance for the veteran goalie, but he only received a goal of support. Bernier is now 2-2-0 with 11 goals allowed on 126 shots this year. He shouldn't have to wait too long for his next start, as the Red Wings have a back-to-back when they host the Canucks on Tuesday and visit the Senators on Wednesday.

Bernier led his team onto the ice, indicating he will start Friday's game versus the Oilers, Dana Wakiji of the Red Wings' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier is making his fourth appearance of the season. He's gone 2-1-0 with a 3.33 GAA and an .888 save percentage so far. The Oilers are averaging four goals per game this year, so this could be a tough matchup for the 31-year-old.
