Bernier will be between the pipes in Wednesday's matchup against the Ducks, Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bernier has won earned a win in three of his last four outings, although the one game he didn't win was a debacle as he surrendered six goals on 15 shots in a loss to Toronto on Dec. 29. The 27-year-old netminder has struggled overall this season, compiling a 5-10-3 record with a .896 save percentage and 3.09 GAA. He draws a favorable matchup Wednesday against an Anaheim squad thats scored an average of just 1.89 goals per game through 38 contests, the lowest rate in the league.

Bernier turned away 39 shots in a 4-1 win over St. Louis on Saturday night.
EDGE Analysis
The only puck that got past him was off sniper Vladimir Tarasenko's stick while the Leafs were killing a penalty. Bernier now has three wins in his last four games and all five of his wins in his last seven starts. His only loss in there was a real stinker, though, but right now, his game is actually on the rise. Pretty soon, we might actually recommend Bernier. Go figure.

Bernier will be between the pipes in Saturday's game against the Blues, David Alter of the National Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bernier was fantastic in his last outing, stopping 39 of 41 shots en route to a 3-2 shootout win over the Penguins on Wednesday. He'll look to build on that impressive performance Saturday in a relatively favorable matchup with a Blues club averaging just 2.45 goals per game this season, 22nd in the NHL.

Bernier was outstanding Wednesday night against the Penguins, turning away 39 shots in a 3-2 shootout win.
EDGE Analysis
Holy about face -- Bernier went from stinker Tuesday to stupendous Wednesday, stoning the Pens' snipers left, right and center. It's just one game, but his first-star performance Wednesday surely injected a jolt of confidence into his game. And Bernier could get more starts short term while James Reimer is sidelined with muscle tightness.

Although James Reimer was initially announced as the Leafs' starter, Bernier will be between the pipes in Wednesday's game against the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer reportedly experienced tightness following Tuesday's game against the Islanders, prompting the Leafs to give Bernier the starting nod for Wednesday's matchup with Pittsburgh. Bernier was terrible in his last outing, allowing six goals on just 15 shots en route to a 6-3 loss to the Islanders on Tuesday. He'll look to bounce back in a favorable matchup Wednesday against a Penguins club averaging just 2.23 goals per game this season, 28th in the NHL.

Bernier was yanked from the Leafs' net after two periods Tuesday. He allowed six goals on 15 shots in a 6-3 loss to the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Oh boy -- the sound you hear is his confidence being flushed down the john. Bernier has allowed four or more goals in seven of his 15 starts and now has the worst save percentage (.883) in the NHL. And he gave up a goal on the second and fourth shots of the game. Ugh. Bernier really struggles when James Reimer is around, so we don't expect 2016 to start any better than 2015 has ended for the beleaguered twinetender.

Bernier's recent success has earned him another start. He will start Tuesday against the Islanders, reports David Alter of TSN1050 of Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
He has won three of his last four starts, including Sunday's game against the Islanders. The Leafs have been hot of late and Bernier's confidence is growing. He might just be worth the play.

Bernier made 25 saves in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Bernie's confidence has to be climbing -- this was his third win in his last four starts. James Reimer was dressed as his backup and he'll likely return to the blue paint next start. But a confident Bernier might just turn the Leafs' goaltending mix into a platoon and that would help resurrect his sagging value.

Bernier will start in goal Sunday against the Islanders, Jonas Siegel of TSN 1050 reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bernier will once again receive the start with James Reimer still not going yet. However, it sounds as though Reimer could be back between the pipes for Tuesday's game. Bernier will square off against an Islanders team that's scoring 3.00 goals per game at home this season.

Bernier stopped 23 of 26 shots in Tuesday's loss to Arizona.
EDGE Analysis
It was the first loss in three starts for Bernier, who has given up seven goals in his last two outings. While Garret Sparks and James Reimer may both be injured, Bernier is 2-9-3 on the season with a .889 save percentage, so he isn't exactly an ideal fantasy option. Considering the 27-year-old has given up at least three goals in eight of his past 10 outings, we really can't recommend rolling Bernier in any fantasy leagues right now.
