Boston Bruins forward Patrice Bergeron will miss around to a month of action with a rib and sternoclavicular injury, and will be re-evaluated in four weeks, the team officially announced on Tuesday.
Bergeron, 33, suffered the injury during Friday night’s game against the Dallas Stars when he took a hit into the boards during second period action. Although he did remain in the game, he was in “serious” pain, according to NESN’s Lauren Campbell.
Bergeron has posted nine goals and a team-high 26 points in 19 games this season for Boston.
