Bergeron sustained an unidentified injury that required him to leave Game 5 on Saturday night in order to visit the hospital for examinations. He was released on Sunday and was able to return to Boston with the team.
Bergeron did not participate in morning skate on Monday, which was expected. Carl Soderberg skated in Bergeron's spot with Brad Marchand and Jaromir Jagr. The pairing of David Krejci, Milan Lucic and Nathan Horton remained together, as did the combination of Chris Kelly, Daniel Paille and Tyler Seguin. Jay Pandolfo and Jordan Caron rotated on a line with Rich Peverley and Shawn Thornton.
Chicago leads the series, 3-2, and has a chance to win the Stanley Cup on Monday night.
