Ducks trade for goalie Bernier

Jonathan Bernier swept away the past couple of seasons as smoothly as he deflects pucks when he talked about returning to Southern California.

It’s a fresh outlook for Bernier, who filled a major off-season need for the Ducks as backup goalie when they acquired him Friday from the Toronto Maple Leafs for a 2017 conditional draft pick.

“I think it’s going to be a great fit for me, and obviously a new chapter,” Bernier said.

Bernier will back up John Gibson, who was given the No.1 role when the Ducks traded Frederik Andersen to Toronto last month.
