New Jersey Devils News

Tatar (personal) will miss Thursday's game against the Rangers due to the passing of his father.

Tatar honoured his dad by scoring a goal and adding an assist the day after his passing. He has amassed 19 points (10G / 9A) in 38 games and is worth a look in deep leagues, especially if he sticks in the top-6 when the Red Wings start getting healthy.

Jonathan Bernier leads the Leafs onto the ice for warmups, he starts vs. the Devils

Bernier allowed three goals on 35 shots Friday's 3-2 loss to the Capitals. After a tremendous performance in the Winter Classic, Bernier has limped to an 0-3-0 record with a 4.00 GAA and .868 SV%. He has a good chance to find the win column tonight against a Devils team who have scored just 16 goals in their last nine games (1.77 G/PG).

Bernier starts for the Maple Leafs.

Head coach Randy Carlyle said the goalies would split the back-to-back unless James Reimer posted a shutout on Thursday, well he allowed six goals in a 6-1 loss to the Hurricanes, so Bernier goes today. Bernier was not much better in his last start allowing a couple of ugly goals, four total on 24 shots in a loss to the Islanders on Tuesday. He faces a Caps team who just snapped a four game losing streak last night.

Jonathan Bernier
Bernier gets his fifth consecutive start.

Bernier was sensational in the Winter Classic, he stopped 41 of 43 shots en route to a 3-2 shootout win and first star of the game honours. He has clearly cemented himself as the Leafs starter and draws a good matchup tonight with the Rangers in town. He stopped 42 of 43 shots in 2-1 shootout loss in New York on December 23.

Hamilton (lower-body) returns to the Bruins lineup tonight.

Hamilton missed the last 10 games with what was believed to be a knee injury that he suffered on December 8 in Toronto. Hamilton has three goals and four assists with a plus-9 rating in 28 games this season. Kevan Miller is expected to be scratched with Hamilton returning.

Bernier gets the nod in the Winter Classic.

Bernier allowed two goals on 43 shots in a win over the Hurricanes on Sunday. He has won two in a row which has him sitting at 12-11-4 with a 2.42 GAA and .930 SV% in his first three months with the Leafs which has earned him the start in the Winter Classic. He stopped 25 of 26 shots in the second and third period in the 5-4 shootout loss to the Red Wings on December 21.

Hamilton is skating with the Bruins for the first time since suffering a lower-body injury.

Hamilton has been out since December 8 and missed the last nine games. The Bruins are depleted on the blueline right now, so it is a good-sign to have Hamilton return to practice. He was expected to miss 2-4 weeks and it has almost been three, so he is likely to return to the lineup sometime in the next week.

Third straight start tonight for Jonathan Bernier.

Bernier allowed three goals on 35 shots in a come from behind shootout win over the Sabres on Friday. The win was just his third in December as he moved to 3-4-2 with a 2.44 GAA and .928 SV% this month. Tonight he will take on a Hurricanes team who pushed three past him in a 3-2 loss in October.

Bernier stopped 42 of 43 shots in a 2-1 shootout loss to the Rangers on Monday. Bernier has stopped 93 of the last 97 shots he faced (.959 SV%) but has no recorded a win in that span.

Bernier is practicing in the "starter's" net, he is the probable Leafs starter.

Bernier stopped 25 of 26 shots after replacing James Reimer in Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Red Wings. He was nearly able to lead the Maple Leafs back for the W after entering with a 3-1 deficit. Bernier enters play tonight with a 3-6-2 record, 2.41 GAA and .932 SV% on the road.

Markstrom leads the Panthers out for warmups; he starts.

Markstrom makes his first start since November 5 when he allowed four goals on 27 shots in a 4-3 OT loss to the Oilers. He is 1-5-3 with a 3.36 GAA and .877 SV% this season. His matchup with the Jets is a solid one, but he is a risky spot-start regardless of his opponent.

Jacob Markstrom
James Reimer the only goalie taking the optional morning skate. Suggesting Jonathan Bernier getting the start again tonight.

Bernier allowed two goals on 30 shots in a loss to the Penguins last night. Bernier has lost three of his last four starts while allowing 12 goals. He appears to be getting the call tonight when the Maple Leafs take on the Panthers. It is a solid matchup and a nice setup for Bernier to get back on track.

Jonathan Bernier
Bernier starts against the Penguins.

Bernier allowed three goals on 28 shots in a 7-3 win over the Blackhawks on Saturday. He will get the call tonight for the fourth time in the Maple Leafs last five games. He in his last four starts and an relief effort of James Reimer he has posted a 2.97 GAA and .912 SV%. Bernier will face an extremely banged up Penguins team tonight.

Jonathan Bernier
Jonathan Bernier starts tonight against Chicago.
