Berube signed a professional tryout with the Kings on Tuesday, per CapFriendly. - Berube spent 2022-23 in the Panthers' organization, posting a 3.22 GAA and an .885 save percentage over 19 appearances with AHL Charlotte. He's unlikely to crack the Kings' Opening Night roster, as Cam Talbot and Pheonix Copley are in place to compete for starts as a goaltending tandem this year, and the Kings also signed David Rittich for depth purposes in free agency. |

Berube has been assigned to the AHL Charlotte, according to Florida Hockey Now. - Berube was on a PTO with the Panthers, so it is no surprise that he will start the season in the minors with Charlotte of the AHL.

Berube signed a professional tryout agreement with the Panthers on Thursday, per CapFriendly. - Berube went 3-2-0 with a 4.12 GAA and a .900 save percentage in six appearances with the Blue Jackets last year.

Berube stopped five of eight shots before being replaced by Elvis Merzlikins midway through the first period of Friday's 5-3 loss to the Penguins. - The Blue Jackets didn't even have a shot on goal yet when Berube got lifted, so his poor performance in the final game of the year was more of a team effort. The 30-year-old made six appearances for Columbus this season, posting a 4.12 GAA and .900 save percentage, and he'll remain a depth option for whichever organization he ends up with next year. |

Berube stopped 46 shots in Friday's 4-0 loss to Carolina. - The game was completely one-sided, as Berube got no help from his defense or his offense, but he still managed to keep the Hurricanes off the scoreboard until midway through the second period. It's the first loss in four straight starts for the 30-year-old, but with Elvis Merzlikins healthy again, Berube will fall back into the No. 2 role for Columbus -- a job he might end up keeping the rest of the way, if Joonas Korpisalo (lower body) eventually gets traded. |

Berube stopped 39 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Maple Leafs. - As a bonus, he also recorded a power-play assist on a coast-to-coast gem by Adam Boqvist. The Blue Jackets got out-shot 42-30 on the night, but between Berube's efforts in the crease and Patrik Laine's red-hot shooting, the Jackets came away with another victory. Berube has won two straight starts -- his first NHL victories in nearly four years -- while Elvis Merzlikins and Joonas Korpisalo have dealt with lower-body injuries, but despite his success the 30-year-old should cede No. 1 duties to whichever of that duo get healthy first. |
