Bruins centre Patrice Bergeron returns to lineup for Game 5 against Leafs
Boston centre Patrice Bergeron returned to the Bruins’ lineup for Game 5 of their first-round playoff series with the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night.
Bergeron was a surprise late scratch with an upper-body injury ahead of Boston’s 3-1 victory in Game 4 on Thursday in Toronto.
The Bruins lead the series 3-1 and can advance with a victory Saturday. If Toronto wins, Game 6 is slated for Monday at Air Canada Centre.
Bergeron was hopeful following Saturday’s morning skate that he would play in Game 5.
