Bruins' Patrice Bergeron: Dealing with lower-body injury

Bergeron suffered a lower-body injury and will not travel to Columbus for the Bruins' opening night clash with the Blue Jackets on Thursday.

Analysis:

Bergeron is expected to miss the Bruins' first regular-season game with the injury, but he is considered day-to-day at this time. With the kind of offensive impact and leadership that Bergeron brings to the table, the Bruins likely don't want to rush him into action too soon and risk losing him for a long period of time. Stay tuned for updates on his status.
