Dancing in the Reign: Kings recall Bernier from Manchester; Will start in Nashville

Goaltender Jonathan Bernier will be starting in-net tomorrow night as the Kings travel to Nashville, Tennessee to face the Predators. Bernier has been recalled from the Manchester Monarchs of the American Hockey League under emergency conditions. It has been reported that Erik Ersberg is day-to-day with a back strain. This situation could very well welcome an issue leading into the playoffs. If Bernier manages to perform as he did in Dallas, we may have a backup goalie confrontation come the playoffs. Bernier was last in-net for the Kings in Dallas on March 12th; Stopping 29 of 30 Dallas shots, and winning in a six-round shootout. Bernier will be making his 6th career start tomorrow night in Nashville as the Kings try to break a 4-game losing streak. A highly touted prospect, Bernier will allow a struggling Jonathan Quick to rest, and hopefully provide a spark to a Kings team that has been struggling since the Olympic Break.
