Ducks' Jonathan Bernier: Expected to start Tuesday

Bernier left the ice first at morning skate, meaning he will likely start Tuesday night's game in Vancouver, Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register reports.

Analysis:

While the first goalie off the ice at morning skate is usually the one who will start that night's game, wary fantasy owners and daily players may want to check warmups prior to puck drop to ensure that Bernier is indeed the starter. That said, even with John Gibson returning to health, it wouldn't be surprising to see Bernier start again, as he's taken the opportunity granted him by Gibson's opportunity and run with it. Assuming he does go, he'll face pucks from a stumbling Canucks team that ranks 28th in the league with 2.08 goals per game in March.
