Things are much better for the Boston Bruins when Patrice Bergeron is on the ice and Thursday’s 6-3 win over the Vancouver Canucks at TD Garden was all the evidence one may need.
For the first five games of the 2017-18 season, the Bruins were Bergeron-less due to a lower-body injury suffered in the last few days leading up to their season-opening contest with the Nashville Predators.
Skating in game action for the first time in weeks, it wouldn’t have shocked anyone to see Bergeron ease his way into things as he gets his legs back under him.
