Boston Bruins center Patrice Bergeron added another Selke Trophy win to his long list of achievements. The Bruins captain bagged the award for a second consecutive year, and he's now one of eight players to win the same NHL award at least six times. As one of the premier defensive forwards in the league, Bergeron has been nominated for the Selke Trophy for an incredible 12 straight years, which is a league record in a single category. However, the streak could very well stop here, as the 37-year-old veteran was close to retiring last summer and is reportedly pondering the same again.
Boston Bruins center Patrice Bergeron (upper-body) made his return to the lineup and scored a power play goal in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss against the Panthers in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference first-round series. Bergeron was sidelined for the start of the series with both an illness and upper-body injury, but the Bruins were able to take three of the first four games in the series without their captain. Bergeron found the back of the net in the second period for the equalizing goal at the time, but the Bruins were unable to close out the series on home ice. Bergeron's return is a great addition for the forward core and the Bruins will have another chance to end the series in Game 6 on Friday night.
Boston Bruins center Patrice Bergeron (upper body) is regarded as a game-time decision for Wednesday's clash with Florida. The Bruins captain has yet to play in the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs, but he appears to be on track to rejoin the lineup Wednesday, with the team making the final decision on his availability after the warmups. Boston hasn't really missed Bergeron in the series, grabbing a 3-1 lead, but he makes a welcome return, especially with David Krejci (upper body) remaining out for Game 4. Bergeron is slated to skate with David Pastrnak and Tyler Bertuzzi.
Boston Bruins center Patrice Bergeron (upper body) hasn't traveled with the team to Florida and will remain out for the next two games, starting with Friday's Game 3 of the series, but it's considered likely that he will be back for Game 5 when the series returns to Boston next week. The Bruins captain was in and out of the lineup during the final weeks of the regular season and he hasn't yet featured in the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Game 5 is scheduled for Wednesday.
Patrice Bergeron Remains Out For Game 2 Against Florida
Boston Bruins center Patrice Bergeron (upper body) will remain out of the lineup for Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs first-round series against Florida Wednesday. The Bruins captain has missed five of the team's last 11 games and is trying to overcome an upper-body problem to jump back into the lineup. He was also reportedly dealing with an illness over the weekend but has since then recovered from the bug. Pavel Zacha will continue to center the first line in Bergeron's absence. The line, which also includes Brad Marchand and Jake DeBrusk, combined for three points in Game 1. Bergeron is considered day-to-day.
Boston Bruins center Patrice Bergeron (upper body/illness) is regarded as questionable for Wednesday's Game 2 against Florida. He's been battling an upper-body injury and also fell sick ahead of Monday's Game 1, missing the contest after being a game-time call. Pavel Zacha replaced Bergeron as the first-line center, and the team continued its impressive season with a 3-1 victory. Zacha had an assist in the game and also helped to shut down the Panthers' first line, with Aleksander Barkov & Co. going scoreless. Bergeron might not have to rush back if Zacha can maintain his performance levels.
Boston Bruins center Patrice Bergeron is feeling under the weather and might not play in Game 1 against Florida Monday. The veteran is reportedly one of a number of Bruins players dealing with an illness ahead of the start of the playoffs. Being without Bergeron would be a big blow for the team, but Boston is getting David Krejci (lower body) back for the contest, and having Pavel Zacha fill in for Bergeron as the first-line center isn't a bad plan B. Zacha had a career year with 57 points during the regular season, averaging a point per game over the final eight contests.
Patrice Bergeron Misses Saturday's Practice For Rest Purposes
Boston Bruins center Patrice Bergeron (upper body) missed Saturday's practice session. He exited the team's final regular-season game against Montreal Thursday for precautionary reasons and it's been reported that he rested for the same reasons on Saturday. The veteran appears to be banged up a bit, but Bergeron famously played through the 2013 Stanley Cup Finals with multiple injuries, including a punctured lung, so it's pretty safe to assume that he will be in the lineup when the playoffs start next week. The Bruins captain turned 37 last summer but still performed well during the 2022-23 regular season, registering 27 goals and 58 points in 78 games.
Boston Bruins forwards Brad Marchand (undisclosed) and Patrice Bergeron (illness) won't play Sunday versus Carolina. Both players are dealing with health issues and the Bruins are giving them some time off, with the team having just clinched first place in the Atlantic Division and holding a comfortable lead in the overall standings. David Krejci will center the first line Sunday, while Tyler Bertuzzi is also joining the first line. Defenseman Hampus Lindholm (undisclosed) will be kept out of action Sunday as well.

The Bruins continue to demolish most of the teams in front of them and Bergeron has played his part this season with 12 goals and 14 assists.

Boston Bruins forward Patrice Bergeron (upper body) is expected to be out at least one more game, head coach Bruce Cassidy told the media. Cassidy said the 36-year-old center is dealing with a lingering injury that is at risk of getting injected and that the ailment is not related to Bergeron falling awkwardly in a 2-1 overtime win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday. The captain is third on his team with 45 points (17 goals, 28 assists) through 56 games this season. It doesn't sound like the injury will keep Bergeron out for long, so fantasy managers should keep their eyes peeled for news of his return. In the meantime, expect Tomas Nosek to continue skating in Bergeron's place.
