Bernier (illness) is not on the ice for the Maple Leafs’ optional; not likely to play tonight.

Bernier, who was scratched yesterday due to an illness, joined the team in Tampa Bay, but is not skating this morning which is not a good sign for his availability tonight. James Reimer, who started last night is also not participating in the optional, so look for him to get the call vs. the Lightning.

No morning skate for the Maple Leafs, but Bernier is their probable starter.

Bernier stopped all 43 shots that he faced in the Maple Leafs 4-0 shutout win over the Stars on Tuesday. It was a great way to bounce back after he allowed seven goals in his previous start. He enters play tonight 3-1-3 with a 2.03 GAA and .940 SV% on the road this season.
