Jonathan Bernier will be assigned to the Maple Leafs' AHL affiliate for a conditioning assignment upon James Reimer's return from injury, Elliote Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Bernier was assigned to the Maple Leafs' AHL affiliate for a conditioning assignment Wednesday.

Analysis:

Bernier has steadily regressed since joining the Leafs in 2013-14, and he has hit rock bottom this season. Bernier is 0-8-1 with a 3.28 goals against average and .888 save percentage, and has been missing out on starts to rookie Garret Sparks during James Reimer's injury absence. Toronto will be hoping that Bernier can rediscover his game during his 10-day conditioning stint.
