Anxious moments for the Boston Bruins.
Top center Patrice Bergeron was forced to leave Thursday's game against the Detroit Red Wings after taking an apparent high stick on a faceoff.

After missing the majority of the second period, Bergeron returned for the beginning of the third, much to the relief of the Bruins and their fans. He was, however, in full protective gear and sporting several stitches.
