Bernier will patrol the crease during Friday's road game versus the Predators, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier wasn't great in his last start Nov. 13 versus Boston, surrendering four goals on 35 shots en route to a 5-2 defeat. The 33-year-old backstop will try to get back in the win column in a road matchup with a Nashville team that's only averaging 2.44 goals per game at home this year, 28th in the NHL.
