Bruins’ Patrice Bergeron Set For Preseason Debut Saturday Vs. Blackhawks
The heart and soul of the Boston Bruins returns to action Saturday afternoon.
Patrice Bergeron likely will make his preseason debut against the Chicago Blackhawks after recovering from a groin injury suffered against the Carolina Hurricanes in May. The Bruins included the 34-year-old center on their roster for the game, and there’s a good chance he’ll see his first action since Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final last season.
Having No. 37 back in the lineup gives the Black and Gold more of their core unit heading into the season. Bergeron enjoyed a career year in 2018-19, totaling 32 goals and 79 points, both career highs, in just 65 games.
