Bernier to start; no additional changes

-Jonathan Bernier left the ice first at this morning’s skate and is the projected starter for tonight’s game against the Minnesota Wild. Bernier is 3-0-2 with a 0.97 GAA, .960 Sv% and three shutouts lifetime against Minnesota. He stopped all 23 shots in a 3-0 home win over the Wild on April 4.

-Keaton Ellerby, Colin Fraser and Alec Martinez remained on the ice for extra work, which would indicate no additional lineup changes will be made for tonight’s game.

-I’ll have quotes from Mike Richards up shortly, followed by a game preview at the usual time.
