Bernier (hip) was on the ice for the Devils' morning skate and hasn't been ruled out as a lineup option Friday versus the Canadiens, Tom Gulitti of The Record reports. Bernier revealed Friday that he had been removed from the Devils' game Wednesday versus the Red Wings due to a nerve issue in his left hip that resulted in him temporarily losing feeling in his leg. The Devils seemed to be bracing for a lengthy absence for Bernier, but that doesn't appear to be in the cards after X-rays indicated the issue wasn't anything serious. It still seems more likely than not that the Devils will hold him out Friday as a precaution if nothing else, but fortunately, it looks like the team is treating him as day-to-day rather than out indefinitely.
