Bruins' Patrice Bergeron Out With Fractured Right Foot
BOSTON (AP) The Bruins say leading goal scorer Patrice Bergeron is out with a fractured right foot.
General manager Don Sweeney announced on Tuesday that a CT scan revealed the injury. Bergeron will be evaluated in two weeks.
The forward originally suffered the injury while blocking a shot during the team's 4-3 loss at Toronto on Saturday. He was evaluated after that game, but an X-ray was negative.
Bergeron played in the Bruins' 4-1 loss at Buffalo on Sunday despite arriving at the arena wearing a protective boot.
