Boston Bruins forward Patrice Bergeron is out with a rib and sternoclavicular injury, and will be re-evaluated in four weeks, the team announced Tuesday.
The 33-year-old was injured against the Dallas Stars on Friday when he was hit into the boards during the second period. He remained in the game but was in "serious pain," according to Lauren Campbell of NESN.com.
The Bruins' roster is already decimated by a slew of injuries. Kevan Miller, Charlie McAvoy, Urho Vaakanainen, Brandon Carlo, Zdeno Chara, and John Moore are all currently dealing with various ailments.
Bergeron has posted nine goals and a team-high 26 points in 19 games.
