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.

Bernier stopped all 14 shots he faced after replacing Mackenzie Blackwood in the second period of Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier made a relief appearance for the second consecutive game, though Blackwood's exit was performance-related this time after the starter was pulled due to a suspected concussion Sunday. While Bernier stabilized things in New Jersey's net, the damage had already been done, as the Panthers had taken a 4-1 lead that they wouldn't relinquish by the time Bernier came in just before the game's halfway mark.

Bernier stopped eight shots in relief of Mackenzie Blackwood (concussion) in Sunday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier kept the game close enough for Pavel Zacha to force overtime with a tally late in the third period. In the shootout, Bernier slipped up, allowing four goals on seven attempts to take the loss. The 33-year-old has been capable in net so far with a 4-2-1 record with a 2.68 GAA and a .910 save percentage. Should Blackwood miss any additional time, Bernier would likely handle the No. 1 job in net.

Bernier stopped 31 of 35 shots in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Boston's final goal was scored into an empty net. It's the second time in his last three starts Bernier has been beaten four times, and the 33-year-old sports a 2.80 GAA and .906 save percentage on the season. With Mackenzie Blackwood back in action and coming off a shutout of the islanders, Bernier will likely settle into the No. 2 role for the Devils.

Bernier will guard the home goal during Saturday's matinee matchup with Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier was solid in his last start last Saturday against the Sharks, stopping 25 of 27 shots en route to a 3-2 victory. The 33-year-old goaltender will attempt to pick up his fifth win of the season in a home matchup with a Bruins team that's 1-4-0 on the road this year.

Bernier turned aside 25 of 27 shots in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Janne Kuokkanen tied the game in the final three minutes of regulation, and Bernier was able to hold the fort from there to earn his fourth win in five games. The 33-year-old has a 2.55 GAA and a .910 save percentage this season. With Mackenzie Blackwood back in action, Bernier is unlikely to see much more than a 50-50 split going forward, though he could settle in as one of the better backups in the league.

Bernier will protect the road goal Saturday versus the Sharks, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mackenzie Blackwood made his season debut Friday against the Kings, and Bernier will handle the second half of the back-to-back set. With a 3-1-0 record and a .907 save percentage in four contests, Bernier has been solid and will get a favorable matchup against a Sharks team still depleted by COVID-19-related absences.

Bernier gave up four goals on 27 shots in Tuesday's 4-0 loss to the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

The Ducks struck twice on the penalty kill, once while shorthanded and once at even strength, while the Devils couldn't do anything against John Gibson. Bernier took his first loss of the season, dropping to 3-1-0 through four appearances. The 33-year-old has been solid so far, but Mackenzie Blackwood (heel) was activated from injured reserve Tuesday and should soon take over as the No. 1 goalie. Expect them to split a back-to-back when the Devils visit the Kings on Friday and the Sharks on Saturday.

Bernier will protect the road goal in Tuesday's game versus the Ducks, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier has won all three of his appearances this year, posting a .923 save percentage. He'll be backed up by Mackenzie Blackwood (heel), who is on the gameday roster for the first time this season. With Blackwood nearing a return to play, Bernier's playing time is likely to go down soon.

Bernier (lower body) made 33 saves in a 4-2 win over the Penguins on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier had missed three games with a lower-body injury and looked sharp, and especially in Sidney Crosby's first game of the season. Bernier is a sneaky fantasy pickup and play. The Devils are a solid team and starter Mackenzie Blackwood, currently out with an injury, may be on a short leash. Bernier has proven he can stop a load of pucks from his experience in Detroit. We recommend you get him on your roster if he's still out there.
