Handzus played with a broken wrist & strained MCL. Bickell played with a sprained knee. Shaw had 2 cuts worth 12 stitches in his face after being hit by a puck. Hockey is a great sport.
Boston Bruins center Patrice Bergeron is hospitalized under observation for a punctured lung, general manager Peter Chiarelli told reporters on Wednesday.
Chiarelli said the lung injury did not occur during a game but gave no additional details.
Bergeron was not at TD Garden with the rest of the team for its end-of-the-season departure on Wednesday.
A valiant Bergeron played 17 minutes, 45 seconds in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final on Monday night with a broken rib and torn rib cartilage. The Bruins lost 3-2 to the Chicago Blackhawks.
Bergeron was injured in Game 5 on Saturday night in Chicago during the second period and was taken to a local hospital for observation. But he returned to the team hotel that night and came home to Boston with the team the following morning.
