Bernier will guard the blue paint Sunday against the Red Wings.

Analysis:

Bernier appears to have fallen behind Garret Sparks in the pecking order, but a back-to-back set Saturday and Sunday has resulted in another opportunity for him in goal. The veteran hasn't been great either at home or on the road this season, carrying a 4-12-1 away record into Sunday's matchup in Detroit. Considering the plethora of Toronto injuries and the team's current stretch (losing seven of the last eight), it may be best to avoid the netminder both in season-long and daily contests.
