Jonathan Bernier Starts Season Opener For New Jersey
New Jersey Devils goaltender Jonathan Bernier will guard the cage in Friday's season opener against Chicago, with Mackenzie Blackwood (heel) still recovering from offseason surgery. It's a Devils debut for Bernier, who was picked up by New Jersey on a two-year deal in the summer. The veteran netminder played in Detroit last season, posting a 9-11-1 record. He did a good job for a poor team, registering a 2.99 goals-against average and a .914 save percentage. The Devils start the season with a depleted blueline as Damon Severson (lower body) and Ty Smith (lower body) are out of commission, so Bernier has to be at his very best straight away to make a winning start.
