Coach Claude Julien announced Patrice Bergeron will skate with the team tomorrow morning - and participate in non-contact drills.  He’ll skate and take shots throughout the AM session.
Bruins could really use a jolt in their lineup with the playoffs coming quickly.   If Bergy continues to progress - I wouldnt be […]

There have been whispers of talks with Colorado for […]
