The Anaheim Ducks called upon Jonathan Bernier to begin the second period of Game 5 against the Nashville Predators, replacing starter John Gibson.
The reason for a switch after a scoreless opening period was not immediately given, but prior to the start of the final frame, the Ducks announced Gibson was questionable to return due to a lower-body injury.
Bernier, by the way, has been solid against the Predators in the past.
FWIW, Jon Bernier has been really good vs Nashville in his career: 9-4-0, .917 save pctg, 2 shutouts, 2.37 GAA in 14 games.
