Bergeron is expected to get the night off on Thursday.
Much like the Bruins did with David Krejci on Tuesday, it looks like Bergeron will be a healthy scratch on Thursday vs. the Jets. The Bruins sit atop the NHL, so there is no need to tax their players down the stretch.
Bergeron was given a maintenance day but will play tonight.
Bergeron was held out of the Bruins' morning skate, but will face the Maple Leafs tonight. Bergeron has been held off of the score sheet in his last three games, but had a five-game point streak prior to that. He has totalled 25 points (10G / 15A) with a plus-15 rating in 45 games.
Bergeron may make his first pre-season appearance Saturday. It will be his first game action since separating his shoulder, cracking his ribs, tearing rib cartilage and puncturing a lung in the Stanley Cup Final three months ago. If not Saturday in Detroit, then he's likely to play Monday.
This is a good sign that Bergeron will be ready for the Bruins season opener on October 3rd. It will take him some time to get back into game shape but expect him to be close to; if not 100% come October.
Bergeron not present at morning skate.

Bergeron will miss his fifth straight game tonight with a concussion. The Bruins are sitting safely in the playoffs so they likely won't rush Bergeron back and risk him getting hurt again. Monitor his status going forward.
Patrice Bergeron, who suffered a concussion last Tuesday night, remains home in Boston and the Bruins have not offered a possible return date.
NHL protocol calls for concussed players to remain out of action for a minimum one week. One of Bergeron's long-time pals noted on Monday that the veteran pivot was encouraged by an examination he had on Friday with noted concussion expert Dr. Robert Cantu.

The Bruins lost Patrice Bergeron during the second period of the B’s 3-2 win over the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday. The forward appeared to get hit in the head by Colin Greening as the two players went for a puck in the Boston end. Bergeron looked dazed initially before skating to the bench and heading down the tunnel.
The first reaction, naturally, is to recall the two-way forward’s concussion history, which is well-documented. However, the Bruins were tight-lipped about Bergeron’s status following the game. He his having a great season posting 10 goals, 21 assists and a plus-23 in 35 games this season. Monitor his status prior to the Bruins game tomorrow.
Selke Award finalist Patrice Bergeron, who has an undisclosed upper-body injury, took the day off, but Coach Claude Julien was adamant that his indispensable center will be in the lineup Wednesday.
As usual with the playoffs, the Bruins are not disclosing Bergeron's injury but he will play.
