Bernier has missed the last three games with a lower-body injury but he was back on the ice for practice on Monday. The Maple Leafs have a two-game road trip this week, but it seems unlikely that Bernier will play on Tuesday in Dallas, Thursday’s contest in Nashville seems more likely.

Bernier missed Monday’s game and his placement on IR is retroactive to last Saturday, meaning he is eligible to come off of IR on Saturday vs. the Capitals. Look for James Reimer to start on Friday vs. the Red Wings—Bernier is listed as day-to-day.

Bernier was expected to start on Monday, but he served as James Reimer’s backup because he was not 100 percent. Bernier missed practice on Tuesday and Antoine Bibeau has been recalled from Toronto (AHL), so look for Bernier to be scratched on Wednesday. He is listed as day-to-day.

Bernier allowed four goals on 32 shots in the Maple Leafs loss to the Penguins on Saturday. Bernier has lost all seven of his starts while posting a 3.02 GAA and .899 SV%. It has been a very difficult start to the season for the Maple Leafs, but it looks as if head coach Mike Babcock will use Bernier as a clear-cut No. 1 starter. This will be his sixth start in seven games.

Bernier stopped 23 of 25 shots in the Maple Leafs 3-1 loss in New York last night. Mike Babcock called it Bernier’s best game of the season, which is why he gets the call again tonight vs. his former teammate Phil Kessel and the Penguins. Bernier stopped 31 of 33 shots in a 2-1 loss in his first start against the Penguins this season (Oct 17th.)

Bernier allowed five goals on 27 shots in the Maple Leafs loss in Montreal last Saturday. He has yet to win a game in five starts and has posted a meagre .902 SV% in the process. Things don’t get any easier for Bernier on Sunday when he takes on the Rangers in New York. Bernier has posted a 3.29 GAA and .894 SV% in four starts on the road.

Bernier allowed on goal on 35 shots but still came away on the losing end of a 2-1 shootout final on Wednesday in Buffalo. Bernier is still searching for his first win despite posting a 2.39 GAA and .924 SV% in his first four starts. He will be hard-pressed to pick up the W tonight as he goes head-to-head with Carey Price.

Bernier gave up two goals on 33 shots in the Maple Leafs 2-1 loss to the Penguins on Saturday. It was a strong outing for Bernier, who struggled in his first two starts of the season. He will get his fourth start of the year tonight in Buffalo—the Sabres have been held to two or fewer goals in four of their first five games.

Bernier was pulled in his last start after allowing three goals on nine shots against the Red Wings. James Reimer started the last two games after Bernier allowed five goals on the first 37 shots (.865 SV%) that he faced this season. Tonight he will face a Penguins team who surprisingly ranks third last in the NHL in scoring (1.25 G/PG) through four games.

Bernier had a rough start to 2015-16, allowing the first shot that he faced to trickle across the goal line. After that he settled in, stopping a total of 27 shots on the night in a 3-1 loss to the Canadiens. The Maple Leafs didn’t actually look too bad, but they will be in tough again on Friday as they face a young, talented Red Wings squad.

Despite being slightly outplayed by James Reimer in the preseason, Mike Babcock will roll Bernier out in his Leafs’ coaching debut on Wednesday. Bernier was winless against the Habs last season, going 0-2-2 with 2.67 GAA and .908 SV%. With Babcock behind the bench, things may tighten up defensively, but Bernier doesn’t appear as if he will be in line to win too many games this season.

Bernier allowed on goal on 13 shots after replacing James Reimer in Wednesday’s 5-0 loss to Columbus. Pre All Star break Bernier was 16-14-3 with a 2.76 GAA and .914 SV%. After the All Star break the Maple Leafs fell apart, and Bernier went 5-14-3 with a 3.04 GAA and .911 SV%. It was a rough season for the entire franchise and it will come to a close tonight vs. the Habs.

Bernier allowed four goals on 31 shots in the Maple Leafs loss in Buffalo on Monday. He has not registered a win since March 11th. Over the last month he has just that one win in nine starts while posting a 3.87 GAA and .891 SV%. It has been a greasy season for Bernier, who will look to play spoiler tonight vs. the Senators.

Bernier was pulled after allowing three goals on 16 shots in the Maple Leafs loss to the Panthers on Saturday. James Reimer started the last two games, including last night so it will be Bernier tonight in Buffalo. Bernier has gone 2-0-0 with a 1.45 GAA and .930 SV% in his first two starts against the Sabres.

Bernier allowed two goals on 32 shots in the Maple Leafs loss to the Wild on Monday. Bernier has gone 2-7-1 with a 3.55 GAA and .903 SV% in his last nine starts and one relief appearance.

Bernier allowed a single goal on 22 shots after replacing James Reimer in the Maple Leafs loss in Ottawa on Saturday. Bernier has gone 2-6-1 with a 3.75 GAA and .899 SV% in March. The Maple Leafs have been awful for months and Bernier is a risky start against a hot Minnesota team.
