Bergeron suits up vs. Sabres

Boston Bruins forward Patrice Bergeron was in the lineup against the Buffalo Sabres on Sunday.

Bergeron was seen leaving the rink Saturday in a walking boot after blocking a shot against the Toronto Maple Leafs, and was initially considered a game-time decision.

The four-time Selke Trophy winner is in the midst of a career year offensively, with 27 goals and 54 points in 54 games. His exceptional two-way play has put him into consideration in a wide-open Hart Trophy race.

Bergeron played 17:59 in his team's 4-1 loss, registering three shots on goal.
