Bernier (hip) faced shots during practice Thursday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

The 34-year-old shared a net with camp invitee Isaac Poulter during the Devils' third practice session.

Devils' Jonathan Bernier: Injury situation clarified
Bernier is dealing with a hip injury that reportedly could have long-term ramifications, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
The fact that Lindy Ruff expressed that he was "worried and concerned" regarding the long-term health of Bernier doesn't bode well for him to be back anytime soon. The 33-year-old netminder is sporting a 0-3-1 record and 3.82 GAA in his last five appearances. At this point, fantasy players probably should consider finding alternative options between the pipes.

It's not yet clear how severe the injury is and how long the 33-year-old might be sidelined. Thus far in 2021, Bernier has posted a 3.06 GAA and .902 save percentage in 10 games. Akira Schmid joins the Devils from AHL Utica to serve as the backup.

Devils' Jonathan Bernier: Blitzed against Winnipeg
Bernier allowed six goals on 32 shots in Friday's 8-4 loss to the Jets.
According to NHL.com, this is the 13th time that Bernier has coughed up six goals or more in an NHL contest. Mackenzie Blackwood replaced Bernier against the Jets on Friday and also had rough go at it, with a pair of goals slipping past him on eight shots. The Devils are off until Monday's home clash with the Senators, which gives coach Lindy Ruff ample time to determine who will post up between the pipes in that one.

Devils' Jonathan Bernier: Makes 14 saves in relief
Bernier stopped all 14 shots he faced after replacing Mackenzie Blackwood in the second period of Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Panthers.
Bernier made a relief appearance for the second consecutive game, though Blackwood's exit was performance-related this time after the starter was pulled due to a suspected concussion Sunday. While Bernier stabilized things in New Jersey's net, the damage had already been done, as the Panthers had taken a 4-1 lead that they wouldn't relinquish by the time Bernier came in just before the game's halfway mark.

Devils' Jonathan Bernier: Makes relief appearance
Bernier stopped eight shots in relief of Mackenzie Blackwood (head) in Sunday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Rangers.
Bernier kept the game close enough for Pavel Zacha to force overtime with a tally late in the third period. In the shootout, Bernier slipped up, allowing four goals on seven attempts to take the loss. The 33-year-old has been capable in net so far with a 4-2-1 record, 2.68 GAA and .910 save percentage. Should Blackwood miss any additional time, Bernier would likely handle the No. 1 job in net.

Devils' Jonathan Bernier: Stung by B's
Bernier stopped 31 of 35 shots in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Bruins.
Boston's final goal was scored into an empty net.

Devils' Jonathan Bernier: Starting against Boston
Bernier will guard the home goal during Saturday's matinee matchup with Boston.
Bernier was solid in his last start last Saturday against the Sharks, stopping 25 of 27 shots en route to a 3-2 victory. The 33-year-old goaltender will attempt to pick up his fifth win of the season in a home matchup with a Bruins team that's 1-4-0 on the road this year.

Devils' Jonathan Bernier: Collects shootout win
Bernier turned aside 25 of 27 shots in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Sharks.
Janne Kuokkanen tied the game in the final three minutes of regulation, and Bernier was able to hold the fort from there to earn his fourth win in five games. The 33-year-old has a 2.55 GAA and a .910 save percentage this season. With Mackenzie Blackwood back in action, Bernier is unlikely to see much more than a 50-50 split going forward, though he could settle in as one of the better backups in the league.

Devils' Jonathan Bernier: Taking on Sharks

Mackenzie Blackwood made his season debut Friday against the Kings, and Bernier will handle the second half of the back-to-back set.

Devils' Jonathan Bernier: Taking on Ducks
Bernier will protect the road goal in Tuesday's game versus the Ducks, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
Bernier has won all three of his appearances this year, posting a .923 save percentage. He'll be backed up by Mackenzie Blackwood (heel), who is in the lineup for the first time this season. With Blackwood nearing a return to play, Bernier's playing time is likely to go down soon.

Devils' Jonathan Bernier: No help in loss
Bernier gave up four goals on 27 shots in Tuesday's 4-0 loss to the Ducks.
The Ducks struck twice on the penalty kill, once while shorthanded and once at even strength, while the Devils couldn't do anything against John Gibson. Bernier took his first loss of the season, dropping to 3-1-0 through four appearances. The 33-year-old has been solid so far, but Mackenzie Blackwood (heel) was activated from injured reserve Tuesday and should soon take over as the No. 1 goalie. Expect them to split a back-to-back when the Devils visit the Kings on Friday and the Sharks on Saturday.
