HOWARD AND BERNIER'S BOND: Being an NHL goaltender is a unique position. There are only two of you on the team and though you're in competition with each other, you must also find a way to have at the very least a cordial relationship with your partner.
Wings goalie Jimmy Howard has had to adjust to a new goaltending mate this season for the first time in a number of years when the Wings signed Jonathan Bernier as a free agent this past July. Howard has enjoyed his interaction with Bernier and feels they're on the same page.
