After a series of moves designed for a deep playoff run, the Boston Bruins were hit with a major setback on Tuesday. Center Patrice Bergeron has a fractured right foot and will be evaluated in two weeks.
The team said that the 32-year-old was hit blocking a shot in Toronto Feb. 24. An initial X-ray was negative, but when he experienced discomfort Feb. 25 in Buffalo, the team ordered a CT scan that revealed the fracture.
Bergeron is a member of one of the best lines in hockey with wingers Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak.
