Patrice Bergeron is on fire, continuing his scoring streak from that breakout performance in Game 7 of the Boston Bruins' first-round series.

He now has points in three straight games as he had two assists in Game 2, including setting up a big Brad Marchand goal that gave Boston key insurance in an eventual 5-2 win. David Krejci also had a pair of apples while Marchand had a two-point output as well (1G, 1A).

Jaromir Jagr compared Boston center Patrice Bergeron to his old Hall of Fame teammate Ron Francis.

"I think Ronnie Francis was the same way," Jagr said of Bergeron. "He wasn't very flashy. He scored a lot of goals but not the highlights goals. And he did everything perfect, especially defensively. The GMs and the coaches, they know. And it doesn't mean the media doesn't talk about him much. People who are close to hockey and understand hockey, they know how special he is. So it's all right." That's high praise from a teammate after spending just two months together. Bergeron was announced as a finalist for the Selke Trophy on Wednesday and he won the award last year.

Patrice Bergeron has been nominated for the Selke Trophy.

Bergeron led the league with 62.1% success rate on the draw. He also had a plus-24 rating and averaged 2:12 minutes of shorthanded ice time per game on a team that killed an impressive 87.1% of their penalties. Bergeron won the award last year and might become the sixth player in NHL history to capture the Selke in back-to-back seasons.

Patrice Bergeron scored the game-tying and game-winning goals to cap the Boston Bruins' three-goal, third-period rally and eliminate the Toronto Maple Leafs in overtime of Game 7.

Bergeron deflected a point shot in the final minute of regulation to force overtime and then banged home a rebound goal six minutes into the extra session. Bergeron's goals were the culmination of a stunning rally by Boston, which scored twice with an empty net in the final two minutes of the third period to force overtime. Bergeron had just one goal entering play Monday night and had come under fire as recently as the first period for a lack of offensive contribution.

The Bruins are going to need more offence out of Patrice Bergeron's line if they are going to do any damage in the playoffs let alone defeat the Maple Leafs in Round 1.

Of the 44 points the Bruins have registered in the post-season so far, the members of the Bergeron unit, which includes Brad Marchand and Tyler Seguin, have contributed only three collectively. To contrast, the David Krejci line, featuring Nathan Horton and Milan Lucic has 22. Marchand certainly understands that the Krejci line can't carry the team on its own. "Everyone else needs to step up and start contributing," said Marchand. "We can’t rely on them [the Krejci unit] every single game to get all of our goals. We got to dig down deep and have a much better game." Let's see if Bergeron and his linemates can get something going in Game 6 in Toronto Sunday.

Patrice Bergeron got his first point of the playoffs in Game 4's overtime win over Toronto.

He scored a power-play goal 32 seconds into the second period to get Boston on the scoreboard after they spotted the Leafs a 2-0 lead following the first. Bergeron finished the contest with seven shots on goal and he won 52.17 percent of his faceoffs. The goal was also his first since March 27, so it was a long-time coming for the 27-year-old center.
May 9 - 9:52 AM

Patrice Bergeron has registered one assist and no goals in his past nine games.

The Bruins will need to get Bergeron going once the playoffs begin because he is important part of their offense. His linemates Brad Marchand, who went pointless in three games to end the year, and Tyler Seguin, who has one assist in his past four contests, also need to be better in the NHL's second season.
Apr 29 - 9:45 AM

Patrice Bergeron recorded an assist on Sunday.

It was Bergeron's first point since he returned from a concussion. The fact that he's suffered four concussions over his career is obviously a big source of concern, but he didn't miss too much playing time this time around and he's getting plenty of work before the postseason. With that in mind, we think it'd be fair to draft him with confidence in the playoff pools.
Apr 22 - 9:03 AM

Patrice Bergeron will draw back into Boston's lineup Wednesday against Buffalo after recovering from his fourth career concussion.

He has been out of commission since April 2, but it's encouraging to see him back so soon given his history of head injuries. Bergeron does it all for the Bruins, so his return should help down the stretch.
Apr 17 - 12:46 PM

Patrice Bergeron (concussion) is "highly probable" to return to the lineup Wednesday night against the Buffalo Sabres.

Bergeron practiced Tuesday and is clearly feeling much better. He hasn't played since suffering a concussion April 2 and will be a big boost to the Bruins' lineup and for fantasy owners. Owners will want to check back after tomorrow's morning skate for official word, but it sounds like all systems are go for Wednesday night.
Apr 16 - 2:59 PM

Patrice Bergeron (concussion) is expected to practice Tuesday and he's likely to return to Boston's lineup on Wednesday night against Buffalo.

"He's been feeling a lot better for the last few days, seems to be doing extremely well," coach Claude Julien said. "But when you've been through what Patrice has been through, we're always going to make sure we're extra safe with him." He skated between Milan Lucic and Tyler Seguin Monday morning.
Apr 16 - 7:11 AM

Patrice Bergeron (concussion) feels good enough to return to the Bruins' lineup.

Bergeron still isn't guaranteed to play on Monday as the Bruins might ultimately opt to err on the side of caution. He hasn't played since April 2.
Apr 15 - 11:49 AM

Patrice Bergeron (concussion) said he's feeling good.

Bergeron was on the ice Saturday and might even return on Monday. He hasn't played since April 2 due to the concussion.
Apr 15 - 7:56 AM

Patrice Bergeron (concussion) won't play Saturday but there's a chance he could be back in the lineup as early as Monday against Ottawa.

"There's no limitations anymore," said Bergeron following Saturday's morning skate. "I can initiate contact and take contact and practice, obviously. Teammates always take it easy on you. But I feel fine. It's good news that I'm cleared for that." He had headaches shortly after getting hit behind his left ear with an elbow on April 2 versus the Senators, but his symptoms have cleared up.
