Bergeron missed two games in mid-November before returning to the lineup for two games on Nov. 21 and 23. He has since been sidelined with what the team deemed to be a lower-body injury.
The Bruins have managed to get by fine without Bergeron, maintaining the second-best record in the NHL at 20-4-6 and an NHL-best goal differential at plus-32.
