Jim Montgomery provides an update on Patrice Bergeron ahead of Game 5
If the Bruins weren't already stacked enough, now they have a key addition back in the lineup to make sure they finish off Florida in 5 games.
The Bruins captain will be ready to go for Game 5, Jim Montgomery said.
The only thing known about his injury was that it happened during the last game of the regular season against Montreal. He could have stayed out of the lineup to prevent injury, but his father has cancer and was in attendance in Montreal. Given it could be Bergeron's last season in the NHL, he thought it was important to play in front of his dad, for possibly the last time of his career.

Bergeron Not The Only One Injured
While the Bruins will be getting back their captain and Selke trophy winner, they still won't be fully healthy.
David Krejci got injured in this series, and his status is worse than Bergeron's
The playoffs are full of bumps and bruises, and the Bruins have felt that so far. But a little bit of adversity is not going to stop them from pushing through. The Presidents Trophy winners won't go down easy, especially with Bergeron in the lineup.
