Bernier (leg) is considered day-to-day for now, but coach Jeff Blashill isn't sure if the veteran netminder's absence could stretch into a week or perhaps even multiple weeks, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Although Bernier's been labeled day-to-day for the time being, it sounds like he's currently undergoing further evaluation to determine the extent of his injury. For now, it's safe to assume he'll miss Saturday's game against Dallas at a minimum. With Bernier on the shelf, Thomas Greiss will take over as Detroit's No. 1 netminder.

Bernier (leg) was injured in the second period of Thursday's game versus the Stars, Ted Kulfan of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stars winger Denis Gurianov appeared to land on Bernier during a scramble in front of the net. Bernier needed help to get to the bench, as he wasn't able to put weight on his right leg. His game is likely done after he stopped all 22 shots he faced. Thomas Greiss replaced Bernier in goal.

EDGE Analysis
Bernier was impressive in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Hurricanes, steering away 32 shots.

Bernier stopped 30 of 32 shots Sunday in a 2-1 loss to Carolina.
EDGE Analysis
The Hurricanes were unable to solve Bernier until less than five minutes remained in the second period, when Carolina's Dougie Hamilton scored on a 2-on-1 short-handed rush. Nino Niederreiter extended the lead to 2-0 early in the third, and the Red Wings were unable to muster any offensive support until it was too late. It was a solid performance by Bernier, who had entered the tilt having allowed four goals in each of his previous three starts. The 32-year-old is 7-6-0 on the year with a 2.96 GAA and a respectable .912 save percentage.

Bernier will protect the home net in Sunday's game versus the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Bernier has been one of the bright spots for the Red Wings this season. He's recorded a .910 save percentage and a 3.02 GAA through 14 appearances en route to a 7-5-0 record. Bernier averages 30.8 shots against per game, so his fantasy value has a high ceiling. Nevertheless, this is a daunting matchup, as the Canes rank second in the league with 3.42 goals per outing.

Bernier stopped 40 of 44 shots in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
Bernier by no means had it easy in Thursday's game, but he benefited from the Red Wings' best goal total of the year. The 32-year-old improved to 7-5-0 with a 3.02 GAA and a .910 save percentage in 14 appearances. He's played better than Thomas Greiss -- Bernier is the stronger option in goal for the lowly Red Wings. They play the Hurricanes on Sunday and Tuesday in their next two games.

Bernier will defend the home net in Thursday's game versus the Lightning, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bernier is looking to get back on track after allowing exactly four goals in consecutive starts last week. The 32-year-old has played well given the circumstances, recording a .910 save percentage and a 6-5-0 record this season. This will be a difficult test, as the Lightning lead the league with 3.63 goals per game.
