2 years agoBoston Bruins center Patrice Bergeron (upper-body) made his return to the lineup and scored a power play goal in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss against the Panthers in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference first-round series. Bergeron was sidelined for the start of the series with both an illness and upper-body injury, but the Bruins were able to take three of the first four games in the series without their captain. Bergeron found the back of the net in the second period for the equalizing goal at the time, but the Bruins were unable to close out the series on home ice. Bergeron's return is a great addition for the forward core and the Bruins will have another chance to end the series in Game 6 on Friday night.

2 years agoBoston Bruins center Patrice Bergeron (upper body) is regarded as a game-time decision for Wednesday's clash with Florida. The Bruins captain has yet to play in the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs, but he appears to be on track to rejoin the lineup Wednesday, with the team making the final decision on his availability after the warmups. Boston hasn't really missed Bergeron in the series, grabbing a 3-1 lead, but he makes a welcome return, especially with David Krejci (upper body) remaining out for Game 4. Bergeron is slated to skate with David Pastrnak and Tyler Bertuzzi.
