Bernier (lower body) led the Devils onto the ice and will start Saturday's road game versus the Penguins, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier has missed the last three games due to injury. He won his first two starts of the year, allowing just five goals on 56 shots in victories over the Blackhawks and the Kraken. He'll face a tough test Saturday as Sidney Crosby (wrist) and Jeff Carter (COVID-19 protocols) are returning for the Penguins.

Bernier (lower body) joined the Devils at practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier has been out for about a week with a lower-body injury. Both he and Mackenzie Blackwood (heel) were on the ice Wednesday, indicating the Devils' top-two goalies are both on the mend. It's unclear if Bernier will be available Saturday versus the Penguins.

Bernier (lower body) will not be available for Tuesday's game against Calgary, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier will miss his third straight game while nursing a lower-body injury. In his absence, Nico Daws will get the starting nod while Scott Wedgewood serves as the backup. Bernier's next chance to play will be Saturday in Pittsburgh.

Bernier (lower body) isn't included in the projected lineup for Saturday's game versus the Sabres, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier will miss a second straight game with his lower-body issue. With Bernier and Mackenzie Blackwood (heel) both on the shelf, Nico Daws is set to make his NHL debut against Buffalo.

Bernier suffered a lower-body injury that will sideline him against the Capitals on Thursday, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier started the first two games of the season while Mackenzie Blackwood (heel) was unavailable due to injury. With the 33-year-old Bernier also banged up, the Devils will likely have to turn to Scott Wedgewood for Thursday's clash while the recently recalled Nico Daws steps into the backup role.

Bernier stopped 27 of 29 shots in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

New Jersey controlled play for most of the game, but Seattle worked its way back in, cutting the Devils' lead to 2-1 in the second period, then almost pulling back within one again later in the frame before having a would-be second goal waved off for offsides. The Devils turtled late and gave the Kraken a golden opportunity with an extended 5-on-3 in the third, which resulted in the second goal against Bernier, but New Jersey then sealed it with an empty-netter. The offseason acquisition is off to a 2-0-0 start while filling in as the starter for Mackenzie Blackwood (heel), but the schedule will get much tougher for Bernier and the Devils once they start facing foes from within the stacked Metropolitan Division.

Bernier will be between the pipes for Tuesday's home clash with Seattle, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier will get his second straight start with Mackenzie Blackwood (heel) still sidelined. Even once Blackwood is fully fit, Bernier should be in the mix for regular starts and could play his way into an even split of the workload looking ahead to the rest of the 2021-22 campaign.

Bernier stopped 24 of 27 shots in a 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

While Bernier allowed a pair of goals in the last four minutes of regulation to force overtime, Jack Hughes was able to make him a winner. The 33-year-old Bernier was solid for the Red Wings last year with a 2.99 GAA and a .914 save percentage despite a 9-11-1 record in 24 games. The Devils are a bit farther along in their rebuild, and Bernier figures to be the temporary No. 1 goalie while Mackenzie Blackwood (heel) continues to get back to full fitness.

Bernier will be in net for Friday's game against Chicago, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bernier will make his 2021 debut after playing 24 games for the Red Wings last season and posting a 2.99 GAA and .914 save percentage.

Bernier (undisclosed) has returned to practice and will be in goal for Friday's season opener versus Chicago if Mackenzie Blackwood (heel) can't play, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Lindy Ruff didn't sound very confident that Blackwood would be ready to play, so fantasy players should probably anticipate Bernier getting the nod. Looking ahead to the rest of the 2021-22 campaign, Bernier figures to fill the backup role and shouldn't expect to see more than 20-30 starts this year, assuming Blackwood is fully fit.
