Jonathan Bernier sees a good opportunity in Detroit, this season and in the future.
Bernier plans on competing with Jimmy Howard for the starting goaltending job with the Red Wings in 2018-19 and knows it could be his in 2019-2020.
"I know Jimmy a little bit, playing against him, and we're going to push each other to bring this team back in the playoffs," Bernier said. "I didn't want to be in a position where I played 15-20 games, I want to come in and have a chance to play as much as possible. Obviously, depending on my play, but I just thought it was a great opportunity that me and Jimmy can battle for games.
