BOSTON - Patrice Bergeron skated again on Wednesday morning and could return to the lineup on Thursday against the Buffalo Sabres, according to Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy. Bergeron has missed the last two games with a lower-body injury.
"I assume he's going to play tomorrow, but I don't know," said Cassidy. "I thought last night he was close, so I'm going to put him in the same category."
Bergeron traveled with the team to New Jersey for Tuesday night's game with the Devils, taking part in morning skate, after which he was termed a game-time decision. But ultimately it was decided - in consultation with the Bruins' medical staff - that another night off would be beneficial.
