"Given how smoothly Bergeron’s recovery has proceeded, it’s a good bet the Bruins alter nate captain will make his debut in the Eastern Conference finals tonight in Game 3 against the Lightning at St. Pete Times Forum (Boston Herald)."
The latest from Twitter says that he skated this morning and looked good to go. So I would expect him to be playing tonight. If he is 100% this is a huge gain for the Bruins. Bergeron is so good on the penalty kill, and helps the defense a lot with his backchecking skills. The question now is who would sit. I have said from the beginning I think it should be Thornton, but we will update when there is official word on if he is playing, and if he does who is sitting.
***UPDATE***
Yup, he's playing...
"Bruins center Patrice Bergeron will play in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Lightning after missing the first two games with a mild concussion, according to a report by ESPN (WEEI).
