Bruins Fall to Wild in Overtime Thriller

The Boston Bruins are expected to have Pavel Zacha back in the lineup after missing three games due to an upper-body injury, and Charlie McAvoy could also return after a four-game absence. If McAvoy plays, Mason Lohrei will be the odd man out on the blue line. The Minnesota Wild, who are on the second end of a back-to-back, will be looking to bounce back from a 4-3 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins. Mats Zuccarello leads the Wild with 28 points, while Joel Eriksson Ek leads in goals with 14.

Patrice Bergeron's Status Uncertain for Game 2 Against Panthers.

Boston Bruins captain Patrice Bergeron is "feeling better" but remains "questionable" for Game 2 against the Florida Panthers. Bergeron did not skate with the team during an optional practice on Tuesday morning. Pavel Zacha filled in for Bergeron as the B's top-line center in Game 1 and is expected to do so again if Bergeron is unable to play. Taylor Hall is also feeling good after returning from a lower-body injury in time for the playoffs. The Bruins are pleased to be leading the series, 1-0, but know there is room for improvement, particularly when it comes to adjusting to the Panthers' relentless forechecking game.

Patrice Bergeron's Game 2 Status for Bruins in Question.

Boston Bruins' Patrice Bergeron is "questionable" for Game 2 against the Florida Panthers due to illness and an upper-body injury. The Bruins have a reliable fall-back option in Pavel Zacha, who has fared well when slotted over to center this season in place of both Bergeron and David Krejci. Bergeron's defensive acumen, playmaking from the slot, and on-ice leadership can't be replicated, but the Bruins' depth across their forward corps has routinely kept them afloat when star talent has been sapped from the lineup.

Patrice Bergeron's Game 1 Status for Bruins in Question.

Boston Bruins captain Patrice Bergeron's status for Game 1 of the NHL playoffs against the Florida Panthers is uncertain due to an upper body injury and illness. Bruins GM Don Sweeney said Bergeron will play if he feels well enough. If Bergeron is unable to play, Pavel Zacha is the likely candidate to center the first line with Brad Marchand and Jake DeBrusk. Bergeron's absence would be a significant loss for the Bruins, as he is a key player in all three zones and has shown he can play through pain in previous playoff runs.
