Patrice Bergeron was a surprise absence from last Saturday night’s game against the Capitals. He picked up an injury the night before in Toronto and wasn’t fit to go.
Then, although he traveled with his teammates to New Jersey and even participated in the morning skate, Bergeron did not suit up versus the Devils.
After these past two games, Bruins fans cannot help but worry about Bergeron’s health and status moving forward. However, it’s not time to panic.
First off, Bergeron plays such a well-rounded game, and he never takes shifts off. He block shots, wins puck battles, and goes to the dirty areas in front of the net.
