Bruins Brace for Game 5 Without Captain
Bruins Aim to Keep Season Alive as Game 5 Approaches
Toronto, ON – The Boston Bruins will be without their captain, Patrice Bergeron, once more as they face elimination in Game 5 of their playoff series on Tuesday night. The Bruins trail the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-1 and are in desperate need of a victory to extend their season.
Bergeon has been out with an upper-body injury since Game 2 of the series, and his absence has been a significant blow to the Bruins' chances. The 37-year-old centerman is one of the team's most important players, providing leadership, experience, and a strong two-way presence on the ice.
In Bergeon's absence, the Bruins will need other players to step up and fill the void. David Pastrnak, Brad Marchand, and David Krejci will need to lead the way offensively, while the team's defense will have to be at its best to keep the Maple Leafs' high-powered offense in check.
Game 5 is scheduled for 7 p.m. EST at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. The Bruins will need to win in regulation to force a Game 6 back in Boston on Thursday night.
