Patrice Bergeron will miss Game 3 after not travelling with the team and is expected back around Game 5 (upper-body).

Bergeron missed the Bruins' first two games due to an upper-body injury and is expected to not play in Game 3 Friday after not taking the morning skate. The 37-year-old is considered day-to-day and a massive loss for the Bruins, as he has 127 Pts (49G/78A) in 167 career playoff games and will hopefully be back sooner rather than later.
