Before the 2021-22 season, the Devils had things set up to split starts between Jonathan Bernier and Mackenzie Blackwood. That went south quickly, but they are trying again this year with two different guys.
When the Toronto Maple Leafs traded for goaltender Jonathan Bernier on June 23, 2013, there was some hype surrounding the move. Maple Leafs’ general manager Dave Nonis called it a depth move and one that he had been working on for some time.
On Monday, Jonathan Bernier, a former Toronto Maple Leafs goalie, retired from professional hockey after a 14-year career that spanned six NHL teams. In his announcement on his Instagram account, Bernier expressed gratitude to various teams.
The New Jersey Devils have tried multiple pairings with Mackenzie Blackwood. Since he hit the scene in 2018-19. He came out of the gate on fire and finished his first season with a .918 save percentage in 23 games.
Goaltender Jonathan Bernier announced his retirement Monday after 14 NHL seasons with six teams. Bernier, 35, did not play during the 2022-23 season due to a hip injury.
Bernier missed all of 2022-23 after hip surgery on Jan. 4, 2022. He last played with the New Jersey Devils during the 2021-22 season, recording a 4-4-1 record as part of a goaltending carousel that saw seven goalies make an appearance.
Veteran netminder Jonathan Bernier announced his retirement today via an Instagram post.
In my recent post where I researched the criteria that measured the characteristics of good NHL goalies and then applied it to evaluate the Toronto Maple Leafs’ best goalie since 1990, my research allowed me to read more about goalie Jonathan Bernier and his time in Toronto.
New Jersey Devils prospect expert and hockey analyst Julie Robenhymer revealed Sunday night in a Bratt Pack Twitter Space that injured veteran goalie Jonathan Bernier will not only play hockey again, but is expected to return before the end of 2022.
The veteran netminder had hip surgery in January and appears poised to start the season on the sidelines.
It’s time to examine what the Devils will need to accomplish over the coming months.
It has been a tough run as of late in New Jersey with the team missing the playoffs for four straight years and not recording a victory in a postseason series in the last ten seasons.
The New Jersey Devils goaltending situation got worse on Tuesday when Mackenzie Blackwood was placed on injured reserve. He’s been dealing with a heel injury all season, and it’s clearly been impacting his play.
Hamilton’s certainly been decent this season, his first with the Devils. Through 30 games, the free-agent acquisition has seven goals and 13 assists while logging 21:24 per game.
The New Jersey Devils were desperate to fix the backup goalie problem. They tried to do it last season when they signed Corey Crawford to a two-year deal, but he decided it was better for him to retire from the game of hockey instead.
As the NHL’s 2021-22 season heads into its second month, the volume of activity has started to reach the point where storylines based solely on smaller sample sizes are no longer.
After a 2-0-0 start, goaltender Jonathan Bernier is showing why he was an important offseason pickup for the New Jersey Devils. The 33-year-old netminder has been solid through two games.
It is an interesting move for New Jersey, who gave Bernier the fourth-highest AAV of the day among goaltenders.
The last two seasons, Jonathan Bernier has played a major role in keeping Detroit in most games that he played. Renaud Lavoie is reporting that Bernier will test the open market when free agency begins on July 28.
While the goalie market is usually soft around the trade deadline, Bernier’s performance has been good enough to make him a viable trade candidate over the next week-and-a-half.
There might not be a more unpredictable postseason than the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Some of it is the nature of the sport itself, and some of it is the fact that outstanding individual performances, especially from goaltenders, can turn a series on its ear.
