Bernier saved 13-of-15 shots after entering the game in the second period of Monday's 7-3 loss to Montreal.

EDGE Analysis

Things just aren't going well in Detroit right now, as the team fell to 0-4-2 in embarrassing fashion. Neither Bernier nor Jimmy Howard have been particularly impressive, with Howard getting rocked for five goals Monday. It would be smart to avoid Detroit's goaltenders for fantasy purposes right now.

Bernier gave up all eight Boston goals on 39 shots in Saturday's 8-2 loss to the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier allowed just one goal in the opening frame, but things really unraveled for him after the game's halfway mark. Boston struck six times from 11:27 into the second period onward, including a goal with two seconds left in the third just to rub a little extra salt in the wounds of owners who chose to gamble on Bernier in this risky matchup. Detroit's winless through five games and beat up on the blue line, so using the team's goaltenders in fantasy will likely lead to nothing but trouble.

Bernier is listed on NHL.com as the road starter against the Bruins on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier allowed three goals on 24 shots in Sunday's road loss to the Kings, his former team, telling reporters afterwards that he'd be better his next time out. Of course, talk is cheap, so we'll have to see if Bernier and the Wings can rally back from their worst start (0-2-2) since 1980.

Bernier allowed three goals on 24 shots in Sunday's 4-2 road loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Facing the team that made him the 11th overall pick in 2006, Bernier was consistently under pressure at the doorstep, and the Kings managed to beat him at sharp angles and in 5-on-5 situations. Detroit actually outshot the possession-happy club 38 to 25 in this one, but with six rookies on the active roster, don't be surprised if the Winged Wheel continues to struggle.

Bernier will get the starting nod in Los Angeles on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier inked a three-year deal with Detroit this offseason and should continue getting decent playing time along with Jimmy Howard. He registered a .913 save percentage and 2.85 GAA last year in his lone season with the Avalanche.

Bernier made 22 saves in a 5-1 win over Toronto on Saturday night.

EDGE Analysis

He's penciled in as the Wings' backup, but there's always a chance Bernier could start to steal time from Jimmy Howard. Use caution, though. Bernier is playing on a young squad with lots of holes. He'll need to star to bring fantasy value.

Bernier will start in goal Saturday evening versus the visiting Maple Leafs, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jimmy Howard started against the Buds on Friday and yielded five goals on 24 shots, so he's likely to be unavailable for this preseason finale. Bernier, on the other hand, will get a chance to tame a Toronto team that now features an absurd No. 1 power-play unit headlined by John Tavares and Auston Matthews. The primary backup to Howard will look to build off his 1-0-0 record, 2.67 GAA and .889 save percentage compiled over two preseason starts.

Bernier stopped 21 of 23 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Bruins in preseason action.

EDGE Analysis

After a scoreless first period, Bernier got beat twice inside the first seven minutes of the second frame, but he slammed the door on Boston after that and gave Detroit's offense a chance to make the comeback. The veteran netminder will be the Wings' No. 2 this season behind 34-year-old Jimmy Howard, but it's a role that should come with a fairly significant workload for Bernier as the club tries to keep Howard from wearing down.

Bernier (lower body) will guard the cage in Wednesday's road preseason game against the Bruins, Dana Wakiji of the Red Wings' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier was unavailable for Tuesday's matchup with Chicago due to a lower-body injury, so it's definitely encouraging to see him already returning to action just one day later. The veteran netminder struggled in his Red Wings debut Thursday against the Blackhawks, surrendering two goals on 13 shots, so he'll hope to make a better impression Wednesday.

Bernier is out for Tuesday's game against the Blackhawks with a lower body injury. He's also questionable for Wednesday's game with the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier is in his first season with the Wings, having played last season with the Avalanche. Incumbent Wings starter Jimmy Howard has had his struggles, so there could be a chance for Bernier to carve out a role for Detroit. For now, the 30-year-old is ensconced in the backup role.
