Goalie Start
Jonathan Bernier is expected to start in goal tonight.
In two career starts against the Wild, Bernier has a 1-0-1 record with a 0.96 GAA, .962 SV% and one shutout.
Goalie Start
Given Quick’s rough night, a late flight, back-to-back games and altitude, it’s fair to assume that Jonathan Bernier will start tonight, but of course Darryl Sutter will not speak to that.
Bernier has never faced the Avalanche.

#RedWings send Tomas Tatar back to Grand Rapids (AHL).
Tatar heads back to the AHL after being a healthy scratch. The gifted forward will be better served seeing top minutes with the Grand Rapids Griffins.

The #FlaPanthers have assigned @j_markstrom to the @sarampage.
Sounds like Markstrom is fully healthy. Look for him to get back to form in the minors and possibly get another look if Clemmensen or Theodore get hurt again.
Jacob Markstrom also out on ice for #FlaPanthers morning skate v #LAKings
Seeing Markstrom on the ice is a great sign for the top prospect. Expect him to go back to the AHL once healthy in order to get back in game shape.
Goalie Start
Jonathan Bernier leads #LAKings onto the ice for warmups. He gets the start in goal at Carolina.
Bernier would fit the bill as a guy who hasn't played since January 9th. He won his only career start against the Canes, stopping 27 of 30 shots faced.
Goalie Start
“We’re going to put some guys in who didn’t play” against St. Louis
Bernier would fit the bill as a guy who hasn't played since January 9th. He won his only career start against the Canes, stopping 27 of 30 shots faced.
Markstrom took shots early
Markstrom gets back on the ice, which is a good sign. The Cats will proceed with caution with their stud prospect.
Goalie Start
Of course, Sutter did not announce his starting goalie, but it would be a surprise if Jonathan Bernier did not get the call.
Bernier boasts a 2-0-0 record with a 1.00 GAA, .966 SV% and one shutout in two career starts against the Oilers.
Goalie Start
Bernier first goalie off the ice....
Bernier won his only career start against the Caps, stopping 22 of 23 shots faced.
Panthers recalled G Foster from AHL with Markstrom tweaking knee #flapanthers
Markstrom is not healthy enough to even backup tonight which indicates this injury is relatively serious. The Cats will proceed with caution with their stud prospect.
#FlaPanthers Kevin Dineen says Jacob Markstrom should be Ok; sounds like he tweaked knee that needed surgery last year. No call up likely.
Markstrom took a maintenance day today but is not expected to miss any playing time. At the very least, expect the prized prospect to backup Scott Clemmensen.
Goalie Start
John Madden in for #FlaPanthers, Jacob Markstrom as well #njDevils

Dallas Stars assigned defenseman Brenden Dillon to the Texas Stars
Dillon has yet to make his NHL debut. He projects to be a two-way defender but don't expect too much production from him when/if recalled.

#FlaPanthers Dineen on Theodore's injury: "it's not long term...two weeks or less" @j_markstrom will meet team in NY
Expect Markstrom to at least backup tomorrow's game against the Rangers. With Jose Theodore expected to miss at least two weeks, the team's prized prospect should get another start or two.

Stars recall Brenden Dillon
Dillon scored two goals and 13 points over 31 games in the AHL. He could be used as insurance and serve as a seventh defender.
Call up / Send down
Dineen said that Theodore will miss the next few games and rookie Jacob Markstrom will be recalled from San Antonio again.
Markstrom is still one of the League's top prospects and should get some more NHL experience over the next couple of games. If you need a spot start, he should be an excellent option.
