Bernier will start on Saturday vs. the Rangers.

Bernier allowed three goals on 34 shots in the Maple Leafs shootout loss to the Avalanche on Thursday. It has been an OK start to the year for Bernier, who has a 2.59 GAA and .916 SV%, but just three wins to show for it. He will face the Rangers tonight—he stopped 11 of 12 shots in a 6-3 win after replacing an injured James Reimer on October 12th.

Bernier starts in goal for the Maple Leafs on Thursday.

Bernier stopped 28 of 29 shots in the Maple Leafs win over the Blue Jackets last Friday. He was given the last two games off, but will be back in the crease tonight having won three of his last four. Tonight, he faces an Avs team who rank 23rd in the NHL in scoring (2.36 G/PG).

Allen gets the start for the Blues on Thursday.

Allen stopped all 26 shots that he faced in the Blues 1-0 win over the Devils on Tuesday. He has stopped all 50 of the shots that he has faced in his last two starts and should make for a good start tonight as he takes on the Devils again, this time in St. Louis.

The Senators will keep Curtis Lazar through the 10-game mark.

Lazar played in his ninth game last night vs. the Red Wings. If he plays anymore it will burn the first year of his entry level deal, but the Senators have been impressed with his play, so he will stick with the team and play in number-10 tomorrow vs. the Wild. He has three assists and is averaging 13:03 TOI so far this year.

Allen becomes the second rookie in Blues history to record back-to-back shutouts.

Allen stopped all 26 shots that he faced in the Blues 1-0 win over the Devils last night. He was coming off of a 24-save shutout vs. the Ducks on October 30th. He joins Ernie Wakely as the only other Blues rookie to post consecutive shutouts, Wakely did it way back in 1970. The way Allen is playing, he is going to force coach Hitchcock to give him starts. He is only owned in 41 percent of Yahoo leagues.

Bernier is probable to start for the Maple Leafs on Tuesday.

The Maple Leafs did not hold a morning skate today, but the belief is that Bernier will be between the pipes after sitting on Saturday. He went 3-3-1 with a 2.57 GAA and .917 SV% in October and starts November with a great matchup. Arizona is allowing the most goals against and are t-19th in scoring (2.54 G/PG).

Allen starts for the Blues on Tuesday.

Allen stopped all 24 shots that he faced in the Blues 2-0 win over the Ducks last Thursday. Allen has gone 2-1-0 with a 1.34 GAA and .944 SV% in three starts this season. Brian Elliott has been great as well, but Allen is forcing the Blues to play him. Tonight, he faces a Devils team who have won three of their last four.

Bernier leads the Leafs onto the ice for warmups.

Bernier stopped all 10 shots.. yes TEN shots…that he faced for his first shutout of the season on Tuesday vs. Buffalo. It was just his second win of the year but he has been much better posting a 1.84 GAA and .932 SV% over his last four outings. Tonight he has a good matchup vs. an injury riddled Blue Jackets lineup

Allen will be between the pipes for the Blues on Thursday.

Allen surrendered three goals on 22 shots in a 4-1 loss to Vancouver last Thursday. It was Allen's first loss of the season and he now sits at 1-1-0 with a 2.01 GAA and .915 SV%. The Blues team defense will help both Allen and Brian Elliott's numbers all season. He draws a tough matchup vs. the Ducks, but the Blues should be able to slow them down.

Bernier starts in goal for the Maple Leafs.

Bernier was pulled after he allowed four goals on 25 shots in the Maple Leafs loss to the Bruins on Saturday. Despite the rough outing, he will get a chance to bounce-back right away and it should not be that difficult with the Sabres in town. Bernier holds a 3.38 GAA and .904 SV% entering Tuesday.

Bernier will start for the Maple Leafs.

Bernier allowed two goals on 36 shots in the Maple Leafs win over the Islanders on Tuesday. He was not scheduled to start the game that was postponed in Ottawa, but the Leafs will turn to Bernier for his third straight start tonight vs. the Bruins. Bernier was 1-1-0 with a 3.26 GAA and .915 SV% vs. Boston last year.

Allen draws the start vs. Vancouver on Thursday.

Allen allowed a single goal on 25 shots in a win over the Coyotes last Saturday. Tonight will mark his second start of the year as the Blues have split the starts 70/30 in Brian Elliott's favour. Tonight he will face a Canucks team who were shelled by the Stars on Tuesday. Allen will continue to carve our a larger role if he plays well.

Bernier starts in goal vs. the Islanders.

Bernier kept the Leafs in Satruday's contest in Detroit, stopping 31 straight shots, before Henrik Zetterbeg blasted one by him with nine seconds left in Overtime. It was by far his best game of the season and he will look to carry it into tonight's meeting with the up-start Islanders.

Bernier leads the Leafs onto the ice for warmups.

Bernier has not started since last Saturday and he gave up five goals on 41 shots in a loss to the Penguins last night. Bernier's .882 SV% is not going to lock-down the number-1 job, so he needs a big night tonight. Bernier went 1-1-1 with a 2.50 GAA and .928 SV% vs. Detroit last season.

Bernier was the first goalie off of the ice on Thursday; suggests he will start Friday.

Bernier made 11 saves on 12 shots after relieving James Reimer in Sunday's win over the Rangers. He took a seat on Tuesday vs. Colorado, but it looks like he will be back in goal on Friday vs. Detroit. He carries an ugly .882 SV% to start the season, but he did enjoy moderate success vs. the Red Wings last season---1-1-1 with a 2.50 GAA and .928 SV%.

Bernier was the first goalie off the ice at Maple Leafs practice Friday.

With the Leafs taking on the Penguins on Saturday and the Rangers on Sunday, it looks like Bernier will get the start Saturday and James Reimer on Sunday. Bernier allowed four goals on 32 shots in the Leafs 4-3 loss to the Habs in the season opener. The Penguins lit the Ducks up on Thursday, so this is not a pretty matchup for Bernier.
