Bergeron suffers upper body injury against Habs this evening

Boston Bruins captain Patrice Bergeron has left tonight's game against the Montreal Canadiens with an upper body injury. The team has stated that Bergeron will not return to the game for precautionary reasons.

More to come on this developing story.

The irony, of course, is that Bruins fans have been asking for the team to rest its star players ahead of the playoffs, so as to not risk unnecessary injury. Bergeron though... he doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who will sit out 'just because'. In fact, he went on the record earlier today talking about how much he loves playing in his hometown of Montreal.

I mean... does that sound like a guy who is going to sit out just because that's what some fans on social media want? Nah... Bergy's a gamer.
