Bernier will start for the Maple Leafs.

Bernier allowed four goals on 28 shots in a 4-2 loss to the Red Wings on Saturday. Since returning from a groin injury, Bernier has given up four goals in all three starts, stopping an average of 31 shots per night. The Leafs are in the tail-spin of all tail-spins, a matchup vs. the Flames is an absolute must-win for Bernier and his mates.

Bernier allowed four goals 29 shots in a 4-2 loss to the Flyers last night. He has allowed eight goals on 77 shots (.896 SV%). He obviously gets the nod in arguably the Leafs biggest game of the season. He is 1-0-1 with a 1.64 GAA and .957 SV% vs. Detroit this season.

Bernier will be in goal for the Maple Leafs.

Bernier allowed four goals on 48 shots in a 5-3 loss to the Blues on Tuesday. It was his first game back from a groin strain, but it doesn't look like James Reimer was the issue as the Leafs are not doing their goalies any favours right now. He will look for a better outing tonight in Philly as the Maple Leafs look to keep their playoff hopes alive.

All signs are pointing towards Bernier (groin) starting tonight.

Bernier is in the 'starter's crease, taking shots while Reimer and MacIntyre share the other net, it really looks like he will be back tonight vs. the Blues. He has missed the last five games with a groin strain, we await confirmation after the morning skate.

Bernier (groin) is making progress, but there is no guarantee that he will be available on Tuesday.

James Reimer is struggling big time with Bernier sidelined, so the Leafs are hoping his return comes sooner rather than later, but it is unknown if he will be back Tuesday vs. St. Louis. Monitor his status during tomorrow's morning skate.

Bernier (groin) could be available over the weekend.

Updating an earlier report. Today was the first time that Bernier has taken part in a full practice since suffering a groin strain. It was not believed that he would be able to play in this weekend's back-to-back set, but now he is looking more questionable that doubtful. His status will be determined on Saturday morning.

Bernier (groin) was a full participant at Leafs' practice this morning.

Bernier has missed the last three games with a groin strain that he suffered on March 13th. Just because he was back at practice, groin injuries, especially for goalies, require a lot of patience. The Leafs are in action on Saturday and Sunday, but don't expect to see Bernier between the pipes just yet. However, this is a great step for the Leafs' number-1.

Bernier left Thursday's game with a lower-body injury and did not return.

Bernier had allowed two goals on 10 shots before not returning to the net for the second period. James Reimer came in and closed the door on all 31 shots that he faced to preserve the 3-2 victory for the Leafs. Bernier has been excellent this season, a serious injury would be awful for Toronto. If he does miss a lengthy period of time, that obviously boosts James Reimer's value.

In obvious news, Bernier starts in Los Angeles.

Bernier was excellent stopped 43 of 44 shots in a 3-1 win over the Ducks on Monday. To nobodies surprise, Bernier will get the call tonight vs. the Kings, it will be his first time back in Staples Center since being traded to the Leafs. He is 3-0-1 with a 2.42 GAA and .930 SV% in March. However, LA is one of the NHL's hottest teams right now, so be cautious.

Bernier will be between the pipes for the Maple Leafs.

Bernier allowed three goals on 31 shots in a OT win over the Flyers on Saturday. It was his second straight win and 24th of the season. He will be back in goal tonight, but draws a very difficult task as the Leafs get set to face the Ducks in Anaheim. Bernier stopped 23 of 25 shots in a 4-2 win the first time he faced Anaheim.

Bernier is back in goal for the Maple Leafs.

Bernier was given Monday night off, but allowed four goals on 30 shots in a overtime loss to the Canadiens on Saturday. He has allowed nine goals on 65 shots in two starts since the Sochi Olympics. He will go head-to-head with Henrik Lundqvist and could see recently acquired Martin St. Louis if he makes it to New York. Bernier is 0-1-1 with a 3.55 GAA and .920 SV% against New York this season.

Bernier vs. Budaj on Saturday.

Despite surrendering five goals on 35 shots (2 SHG) in a 5-4 OT loss to the Tavares-less Islanders on Thursday, the Maple Leafs will turn to Bernier again on Saturday in a huge divisional clash with the Habs. Bernier did not look comfortable after the long layoff, which might be why head coach Randy Carlyle is going right back to him.
