The Detroit Red Wings consider Jonathan Bernier day-to-day with a lower-body injury.

That sounds relatively optimistic given he left the ice needing help from two teammates. He didn’t practice Friday, and coach Jeff Blashill said “my gut is yes” when asked if Bernier will at the very least miss Saturday’s game against the Dallas Stars at Little Caesars Arena.

“Right now it’s day to day,” Blashill said. “I don’t know if that stretches into a week or weeks. It’s all based on the healing process. I can’t tell you how long that is going to be.

“He’s been evaluated and I would just say it’s one of those injuries that could heal quickly, could take longer. We’re just not sure.”
