Latest news
Bernard-Docker was recalled from AHL Grand Rapids on Friday.
Bernard-Docker spent the start of the regular season on injured reserve due to an upper-body injury, and he didn't appear in any games with the NHL club after being activated. He was sent down in mid-October but will rejoin the Red Wings after Axel Sandin-Pellikka was assigned to Grand Rapids on Friday. Bernard-Docker has been held scoreless with four PIM and a plus-1 rating across three AHL appearances to begin the regular season.

Bernard-Docker was placed on waivers Saturday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
After being activated from injured reserve, Bernard-Docker has been a healthy scratch for four straight games. He hasn't logged any playing time yet this season. Assuming he clears waivers, he could finally see game action with AHL Grand Rapids.

Bernard-Docker (upper body) was activated from injured reserve Thursday.
Bernard-Docker began the regular season on injured reserve due to his upper-body issue, but he's been cleared to return after missing the Red Wings' first three games of the year. He made 63 regular-season appearances for Detroit last year, recording a goal, four assists, 87 blocked shots, 66 hits and 25 PIM while averaging 14:49 of ice time.

The Red Wings placed Bernard-Docker (upper body) on injured reserve Monday, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
Head coach Todd McLellan announced Friday that Bernard-Docker is considered day-to-day due to an upper-body injury, and the issue will apparently force him to miss the start of the regular season. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return, but McLellan's remarks last week suggest that the 26-year-old isn't facing a long-term absence to begin the year. Bernard-Docker recorded a goal, four assists, 87 blocked shots, 66 hits and 25 PIM while averaging 14:49 of ice time across 63 regular-season appearances last year.

Head coach Todd McLellan said Friday that Bernard-Docker is considered day-to-day due to an upper-body injury, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports.
Bernard-Docker has appeared in two of the Red Wings' first three exhibition games ahead of the regular season. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available for the team's Opening Night matchup against the Rangers on Oct. 2. The 26-year-old made 63 regular-season appearances during his first year with the Red Wings in the 2025-26 campaign, recording a goal, four assists, 87 blocked shots, 66 hits and 25 PIM while averaging 14:49 of ice time.

Bernard-Docker scored a goal and added two PIM in Friday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.
Bernard-Docker just signed a two-year contract extension with the Red Wings on Wednesday, which perhaps gave him a little extra confidence. His tally Friday was his first goal of the season, coming in his 56th appearance. The defenseman has five points, 38 shots on net, 83 blocked shots, 59 hits, 20 PIM and a plus-5 rating. He will likely remain on the third pairing, but he continues to have more security in the lineup over Travis Hamonic.
