Jonathan Bernier News

Bernier was the first goalie off of the ice at the Red Wings morning skate.

Thomas Greiss started opening night but all signs are pointing towards Bernier getting the nod in the rematch vs. the Hurricanes. Playing on a historically bad team, Bernier actually had a fairly solid season in 2020, going 15-22-3 with a 2.95 GAA and .907 SV%. Bernier finished the season really strong and while that was 10 months ago, it provides some hope that he and Greiss will be a reliable duo for a rebuilding Red Wings squad.
