In the final regular season clash in Montreal, Patrice Bergeron, the Bruins captain, withdrew after just one period. Persistent injuries have kept him off the ice, but an illness affecting several players appears to be the main culprit.
Yet, as we approach game two, The Athletic's Fluto Shinzawa brings encouraging news about the captain:
While neither head coach Jim Montgomery nor the team has made any official statements, it's likely that Bergeron's status will be determined just before game time.
Regardless, this update is a significant step forward for the Bruins captain's health, and fans will be eager to see him back on the ice.
