Jonathan Bernier Starts Again, Delaying Return of Jimmy Howard
6 years agoDetroit Red Wings goaltender Jonathan Bernier will make his fourth consecutive start on Saturday as Jimmy Howard continues to work his way back from his back injury. Bernier will face the Panthers as the Red Wings start a back-to-back set of games that will include Howard's return on Sunday. Coming off of arguably his best start of the season, Bernier will be looking to win consecutive starts for only the second time this season. Despite Florida's lack of wins this year, they generate the second most shots per game (35.1) in the league which will be a challenge for Bernier and his .898 save percentage. There are plenty of other options in net available for Saturday, so Bernier can be safely left on the waiver wire.
