New Jersey Devils News

Bernier will start Saturday in New Jersey.

In his first and only season with the Ducks, Bernier filled in well for John Gibson when he was unavailable and went 21-7-4 with a 2.50 GAA, .915 SV% and two shutouts. The 29-year-old signed with the Avalanche this season, where he is one Semyon Varlamov injury away from being a No.1 netminder again. Bernier’s numbers will surely take a hit, but he’s a reasonable spot-start in his first start as he takes on a Devils team that is typically low-scoring.

The Avalanche have signed Jonathan Bernier to a one-year deal worth $2.7M.

After three tough years in Toronto, Bernier bounced back as John Gibson’s backup in Anaheim last season. Bernier was 21-7-4 with a 2.51 GAA and .915 SV% in 38 games with the Ducks and will serve as the oft-injured Semyon Varlamov’s backup this season.

The Senators select Shane Bowers with the 28th overall pick.

Bowers won’t blow you away with his offensive numbers like others in this draft class, but plays an excellent two-way game. Bowers had 22 goals and 29 assists (51 points) in 60 games with the Waterloo Black Hawks (USHL) this season and looks like a low-risk draft pick.

The Devils select Nico Hischier with the No.1 pick in the 2017 NHL Draft.

Hischier rose up prospect rankings in 2017 by dazzling in the QMJHL. Hischier has a very high skill level and competes on every shift. After coming over from Switzerland, Hischier posted 38 goals and 48 assists (86 assists) in just 57 games with the Halifax Mooseheads.

Bernier will start Thursday in Winnipeg.

Bernier allowed one goal on 35 shots in the Ducks’ win in Vancouver on Tuesday. Bernier has been crazy impressive as of late, winning five in a row while stopping 138 of 147 shots (.939 SV%). The Ducks will stay with the hot-hand tonight as Bernier looks for his 11th win of the month and 20th win of the season.

Bernier made 25 saves on 28 shots in the Ducks win over the Rangers on Sunday. Even with John Gibson now healthy, it looks like the crease is still Berneir’s and why not? Bernier is on a four-game winning streak and is a ridiculous 9-1-1 with a 1.71 GAA, .943 SV% and one shutout in March. He is red-hot and make sure his active in this important stretch of the season.
