The Ducks filled a major off-season need Friday when they acquired goalie Jonathan Bernier from the Toronto Maple Leafs for a conditional draft pick.
The draft pick is in 2017, according to Sportsnet.
Bernier becomes the backup to John Gibson, who was given the No. 1 role when the Ducks traded Frederik Andersen to Toronto last month. Ducks General Manager Bob Murray had said he needed a backup that could play 20 to 25 games because Gibson, who turns 23 next week, wasn’t yet ready for a full NHL workload, and Bernier fills that role.
