Bergeron’s status for Game 5 uncertain

Boston Bruins forward Patrice Bergeron was back on the ice on the team’s offday, and coach Bruce Cassidy said it will be a game-day decision whether he plays in Game 5 against Toronto on Saturday night.

“We won’t rule him out and we won’t say he’s definitely in,” the coach said during the team’s off-day availability on Friday. “But it is a positive he’s back on the ice.”

Bergeron missed Game 4 on Thursday with an undisclosed injury — a surprise to the Maple Leafs, who had no warning he was hurt. The Bruins won 3-1 in Toronto to take a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven first-round series.
