The Bruins might have some reinforcements on the way ahead of Wednesday’s Game 5 matchup against the Panthers at TD Garden.
Bruins general manager Don Sweeney noted on Monday that Patrice Bergeron is expected to join the Bruins for their full-squad practice on Tuesday at Warrior Ice Arena.
It will be the captain’s first practice with the roster since exiting Boston’s regular-season finale on April 13 with a nagging upper-body injury.
“We’ll gauge his progression and go from there,” Sweeney said of Bergeron’s status. “As everybody knows, he’s day to day and we’ll see how he is when he integrates into other guys on the ice besides just himself.
