Bernier (upper body) is projected to be scratched for the season finale against the Sabres on Saturday, Dave Hogg of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is an unfortunate way for Bernier to cap off his first season with the Red Wings. Assuming he sits as expected, the Quebec native will finish with a 9-18-5 record, 3.16 GAA and .904 save percentage.

Bernier (upper body) won't dress for Thursday's road game against the Penguins, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jimmy Howard reportedly will make a third consecutive start for Detroit as it vies for a seventh straight win -- which would be the longest such streak in seven-plus seasons for a club that won't be in the playoffs. Bernier's upper-body injury has been particularly unfortunate for the man himself since he played his best in March with a 2.41 GAA and .930 save percentage over seven games.

Bernier (upper body) is still considered day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's game against Pittsburgh, Dana Wakiji of the Red Wings' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Red Wings only have two games remaining following Tuesday's contest, so it's quite possible that Bernier will simply be shut down for the remainder of the campaign. If that ends up being the case, the 30-year-old netminder will finish the year having compiled a 9-18-5 record while posting a 3.16 GAA and .904 save percentage in 35 appearances.

Bernier (upper body) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Bruins, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bernier suffered an upper-body injury in Friday's win over the Devils, and he was set to undergo a medical scan after the game. The results of the test haven't been revealed, but it's bad enough to keep Bernier on the shelf. Jimmy Howard will likely start in goal as Bernier looks to get healthy for Tuesday's game versus the Penguins.

Bernier (upper body) will undergo a scan to determine the extent of his injury ahead of Sunday's game against the Bruins, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bernier and Jimmy Howard combined for a shutout over the Devils on Friday, with the former kicking back 18 shots through two periods. Hopefully, this injury isn't serious, as Detroit's backup netminder carried a 2.68 GAA and .923 save percentage through six March contests into Friday's action against New Jersey -- by far his best month of the 2018-19 campaign.

Bernier won't return to Friday's game versus the Devils due to an upper-body injury.
EDGE Analysis
Bernier was sporting a 21-save shutout through two periods, but he was replaced by Jimmy Howard to start the third frame. The Red Wings had a 2-0 lead when Bernier left the game, so he'll walk away with a win if Howard can allows one goal or less. There are no remaining back-to-back games this season for the Red Wings.

Bernier will tend the home twine in Friday's game versus the Devils, Ted Kulfan of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bernier will get the nod on the second half of back-to-back contests. He's played well in march with a .923 save percentage and 2.68 GAA, although the offensive support hasn't done its part and he posted a 2-3-1 record in that span. The Devils are a promising matchup, as they've scored just seven goals in the last five games.

Bernier stopped 39 of 41 shots in Monday's 3-2 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
The Red Wings had a goal in each period to prop up Bernier, who bent with two goals against in the third period but did not break. Bernier improved to 8-18-5 with a 3.23 GAA and a .902 save percentage. Bernier and Jimmy Howard have seen an even split of the start for much of March, so Howard would be the best guess for Thursday's start in Buffalo in the first game of a back-to-back.

Bernier will start Monday's road game in San Jose, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bernier will be looking for just his third win of the calendar year, as the Detriot netminder has gone 2-8-3 in 15 appearances since Jan. 1. The two teams played once already this season, and Bernier started that contest, making 32 saves and allowing four goals in a 5-3 loss.

Bernier made 19 saves for the Red Wings in a 5-2 loss to the Blues on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The Wings are not a good team, so Bernier is stuck trying to bail them out. But he's just a man, not a superhero. Bernier has one win since Feb. 2. The Wings have been eliminated from the postseason now. Maybe it'll mean they will play loose and free hockey until season's end. If so, Wings' goalies could get a bit more support. But we wouldn't count on it.
