Patrice Bergeron News
Much like the Bruins did with David Krejci on Tuesday, it looks like Bergeron will be a healthy scratch on Thursday vs. the Jets. The Bruins sit atop the NHL, so there is no need to tax their players down the stretch.
Bergeron was held out of the Bruins' morning skate, but will face the Maple Leafs tonight. Bergeron has been held off of the score sheet in his last three games, but had a five-game point streak prior to that. He has totalled 25 points (10G / 15A) with a plus-15 rating in 45 games.
This is a good sign that Bergeron will be ready for the Bruins season opener on October 3rd. It will take him some time to get back into game shape but expect him to be close to; if not 100% come October.
This would suggest that Bergeron is likely out for tonight's Game 6 in Boston. He played just 6:06 in Game 5 before leaving the game and heading to a nearby Chicago hospital. The injury has yet to be specified but consider him doubtful for tonight's game.
Bergeron was skating in practice on the top line with Lucic and Seguin.

Bergeron will miss his fifth straight game tonight with a concussion. The Bruins are sitting safely in the playoffs so they likely won't rush Bergeron back and risk him getting hurt again. Monitor his status going forward.
NHL protocol calls for concussed players to remain out of action for a minimum one week. One of Bergeron's long-time pals noted on Monday that the veteran pivot was encouraged by an examination he had on Friday with noted concussion expert Dr. Robert Cantu.
Bergeron will miss his second straight game because of a concussion he suffered on Tuesday. He has a history of concussion's so he could miss an extended period of time. Tyler Seguin will continue to center the Bruins second line with Bergeron out.
It is undetermined when Bergeron will be able to return to the lineup. Tyler Seguin will shift to center and Jaromir Jagr will replace Bergeron on the Bruins second line.
The first reaction, naturally, is to recall the two-way forward’s concussion history, which is well-documented. However, the Bruins were tight-lipped about Bergeron’s status following the game. He his having a great season posting 10 goals, 21 assists and a plus-23 in 35 games this season. Monitor his status prior to the Bruins game tomorrow.
As usual with the playoffs, the Bruins are not disclosing Bergeron's injury but he will play.
