Bergeron out for Game 4 with upper-body injury
The Boston Bruins will be without superstar center Patrice Bergeron for Game 4 versus the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday night as he's been diagnosed with an upper-body injury and is day to day, the team announced.
With Bergeron out, Riley Nash will take his spot on the top line between Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak. Here's a look at the Bruins' combos amid the shakeup.
#NHLBruins line rushes:
- Boston Bruins (@NHLBruins) April 19, 2018
Marchand - Riley Nash - Pastrnak
DeBrusk - Krejci - Rick Nash
Heinen - Kuraly - Backes
Schaller - Acciari - Wingels
Chara - McAvoy
Krug - Miller
Grzelcyk - McQuaid
The loss is obviously a huge one for the Bruins, as Bergeron is the league's premier two-way pivot, and has contributed five points through the series' first three contests on a line Toronto struggled mightily to contain in Games 1 and 2.
