Bernier made 38 saves Saturday in a 2-1 victory over Florida.

EDGE Analysis

He was the story of the game and his teammates fed off his exploits. Bernier has been exceptional of late with a 2-1 record and just four goals allowed in his last three starts. The Wings aren't the most exciting team, but Bernier will bring value if the team continues its strong play behind him.

Bernier will start in Saturday's game versus the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier made a relief appearance in Friday's loss to the Panthers, allowing three goals on 26 shots. Stopping pucks for the Red Wings is a tough task, but Bernier has been adequate this year with an .898 save percentage and a 3-2-0 record.

Bernier stopped 23 of 26 shots after replacing Thomas Greiss to begin the second period during Friday's 7-2 loss to the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Neither goalie had much luck slowing down Florida's red-hot offense. Bernier has a superficially solid 3-2-0 record, but his 3.01 GAA and .896 save percentage offer a better reflection of how he's played and how much help he's gotten from Detroit's patchwork blue line. Expect the two netminders to work in a timeshare moving forward unless one of them begins stealing some wins for the Wings.

Bernier allowed one goal on 25 shots in Wednesday's 2-0 loss to the Blackhawks. The second goal was an empty-netter.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier did all he could to keep things close, but the Blackhawks' Kevin Lankinen posted his first NHL shutout. The 32-year-old Bernier dropped to 3-2-0 with a 2.83 GAA and an .898 save percentage. Poor luck aside, Bernier should continue to compete with Thomas Greiss for playing time, but neither Red Wings goalie offers fantasy managers frequent opportunities for wins.

Bernier will defend the home net in Wednesday's game versus the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier sports a 3-1-0 record through five appearances, accruing an .886 save percentage and a 3.21 GAA in that stretch. The Blackhawks enter Wednesday's game ranked 16th in the league with 2.94 goals per game, and their power play ranks third at 32.7 percent.

Bernier (upper body) stopped 21 of 23 shots Saturday in a 4-2 win over Nashville.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier was given a 3-0 lead through 40 minutes and made it hold up despite third-period goals by Filip Forsberg and Rocco Grimaldi. It was a nice showing for the 32-year-old, who was making his first appearance since being injured Jan. 28. Bernier improved to 3-1-0 on the year with a 3.22 GAA and .886 save percentage.

Bernier (upper body) was activated from injured reserve and will start in the road crease Saturday versus the Predators, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier posted an .881 save percentage and a 2-1-0 record before suffering an upper-body injury Jan. 28. He should be busy Saturday, as the Predators rank 10th in the league with 31.1 shots per game. However, they struggle to convert, sitting 27th with 2.36 goals per game.

Bernier (upper body) was placed on injured reserve retroactive to Jan. 28 on Friday according to PuckPedia.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier has missed the last four games with his upper-body injury, so his placement on injured reserve is simply a paper move. Once healthy, he'll be eligible to return since he's already been out for over a week. The 32-year-old has an .881 save percentage and a 3.55 GAA in four appearances this season.

Bernier (upper body) isn't expected to be in the lineup for Friday's game against Tampa Bay, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier returned to practice Thursday, so although he won't dress for Friday's contest, he could be an option for Sunday's matchup with the Panthers. The 32-year-old netminder has posted a 2-1-0 record while maintaining a 3.55 GAA and a .881 save percentage through four appearances this season.

Bernier (upper body) will join the team on its six-game road trip but won't be in the lineup against Tampa Bay on Wednesday, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier is set to miss his third consecutive contest due to his upper-body issue, but the fact that he's traveling with the team could see him return sooner rather than later. Once cleared to play, the 32-year-old netminder should get back to splitting the starts with Thomas Greiss, a trend the figures to continue for the rest of the season.
