Jonathan Bernier, a goalie for the New Jersey Devils, is also out until February 6. He sustained a hip injury in December 2021 in an 8-4 loss against the Winnipeg Jets.

Bernier underwent a season-ending injury in January 2022 which set him out for the rest of the 2021-22 NHL season and was replaced by goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood. He had a 4-4-1 record, a 3.06 GAA, and a .902 SV% that season.

Bernier joined the team for practice in October 2022, per Amanda Stein of the Devils. He is most likely the third option for the team behind Vitek Vanecek and Mackenzie Blackwood. Vitek Vanecek has a .917 SV% and a 2.29 GAA in 32 games played (29 games started).
