Berra will start in goal Friday against the Ducks, Rick Sadowski of NHL.com reports.

Berra relieved Semyon Varlamov of his duties in Wednesday's game after the veteran allowed five goals on 19 shots, and proceeded to stop each of the five shots he saw. He'll receive his first starting nod of the season Friday, facing a Ducks offense that has gotten off to a slow start to begin the season (one goal in first three games).
