Bernier will tend the twine for Wednesday's Game 4 against Nashville, Adrian Dater of BSNDenver.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

While Bernier was able to help the Avs to a win in Game 3, he's been under heavy siege during this series, allowing at least three goals in each contest and owning a .883 save percentage. The Avalanche certainly have the ability to keep this series close, but with both of these teams finishing in the top 10 in scoring during the regular season, it's likely that the high-scoring affairs of this series will continue.

Bernier stopped 32 of 35 shots Monday in a 5-3 win over the Predators in Game 3 of the Western Conference quarterfinals.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier wasn't fantastic, but with a four-goal cushion that chased Pekka Rinne from the other net, he didn't have to be perfect for his team. However, three goals isn't all that helpful to his owners, even in this situation. Against the high-flying Predators, it might be best to look else wear for goaltending needs.

Bernier will be back between the pipes versus the Predators for Monday's Game 1 tilt, Rick Sadowski of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier has given up four goals in each of the first two playoff contests, while facing a combined 62 shots. The netminder faced the unenviable task of trying to secure a win in the Music City, something few teams have been able to accomplish this season -- Nashville owns a 28-9-4 record at Bridgestone Arena this season. Back in the Mile High City, the 29-year-old seems to thrive playing at altitude, as he has just four losses at home this year.

Bernier allowed four goals on 32 shots in a 5-4 loss to the Predators on Saturday. The Predators lead the first-round series 2-0.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran did his best to keep things interesting, but a Predators power-play goal tied the game in the first 61 seconds of the second period and then the Predators offense exploded from there. This final stat line for Bernier, though, isn't all that surprising. He is just 1-4-1 with a .899 save percentage since taking over for the injured Semyon Varlamov (knee), and he's going up against the Presidents' Trophy winners. Still, as the series shifts to Denver, there's hope Bernier can turn things around soon. He posted a 13-4-0 record and .928 save percentage at home this season.

Bernier will tend the twine for Saturday's clash with Nashville.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier gave up four goals on 30 shots in Game 1, some of which could be blamed on defensive lapses. If the Avs can limit the number of shots the netminder sees, he should be capable of keeping Colorado in the game. Since taking over for the injured Semyon Varlamov (knee), the 29-year-old Bernier is 1-3-1 with a 3.17 GAA.

Bernier stopped 26 of 30 shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Predators in Game 1.

EDGE Analysis

He kept the Avs in the game through two periods, but in the third Bernier fell victim to the Filip Forsberg Show, as the Preds sniper beat him twice to put the game away. With Seymon Varlamov (knee) already ruled out for the entire first round, Bernier should be back in net Saturday for Game 2.

Bernier is expected to tend the twine for the team's entire opening-round series against Nashville, the Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier continues to work between the pipes with Semyon Varlamov (knee) set to miss the first round. Should he and the Avalanche advance beyond the first series, coach Jared Bednar will have an interesting decision to make if Varlamov is healthy enough to play. In the meantime, Bernier -- who has experienced the playoffs and a Stanley Cup victory as the backup to Jonathan Quick in Los Angeles in 2012 -- will hold down the crease for Colorado as the club makes its first trip to the playoffs since 2014.

Bernier stopped 32 of 34 shots in Saturday's win over the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

The Avalanche needed to win to clinch a playoff berth and Bernier delivered. The 29-year-old got back into the win column for the first time in five games, advancing to 19-13-3 on the season with a .913 save percentage. With Semyon Varlmov (lower body) done for the year, Bernier will be manning the cage when the Avalanche face the Predators in Round 1. Bernier has struggled in limited career postseason action, but a strong conclusion to the regular season should have him entering with confidence.

Bernier will defend the home net Saturday against the Blues, Mike Chambers of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier has allowed three or more goals in each of his last three appearances and has lost each of those contests to put the Avalanche in a win to get in situation Saturday. He will attempt to fend off shots from a Blues club that is challenging for the last spot and coming off a victory over the Blackhawks on Friday.

Bernier allowed three goals on 35 shots in a 4-2 loss to San Jose on Thursday. The fourth was an empty-netter.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier has allowed 10 goals over the last three games, all of which were key losses (in California, specifically) while Colorado fights for its playoff life. The veteran netminder will likely man the blue paint again in the team's last game against the Blues on Saturday, which will likely be a battle for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
