The Boston Bruins received a major boost Saturday as center Patrice Bergeron returned to the lineup for Game 5 against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Bergeron sat out Game 4 with an upper-body injury.

The veteran pivot has been one of Boston's top producers in the opening-round series, as he's collected five assists across three games.

Bergeron reunited with linemates Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak in the pregame warmup ahead of Game 5.
