The injury list provided by head coach Bruce Cassidy after Monday’s practice was far from pretty. Bergeron‘s still out with lower body woes, and will most likely be a game-time decision on Tuesday. Brett Ritchie, out with an upper body injury, is also skating and may be a game-time decision.
Although it’s great that Bergeron may well be back soon, the Bruins will have to be more patient awaiting the returns of Torey Krug, David Backes, Kevan Miller, Karson Kuhlman and Zach Senyshyn.
These gaps in the lineup aren’t the end of the world; it’s really to be expected in an 82-game regular season, especially one coming off the heels of a long, brutal postseason.
