The Bruins faced the absence of Bergeron, Marchand, and Lindholm due to persistent injuries, but subsequent updates about the trio could be worrisome.
Head coach Jim Montgomery mentioned that Bergeron was struggling with an illness, which initially didn't seem severe. Regrettably, later updates about the veteran suggested that the captain's condition deteriorated during Saturday's match.
‘'We don't want to get to the point where they couldn't play and it's getting close to that point... because of those nagging injuries they're playing through some pain right now, and we don't want them to progressively get worse.''
