Bergeron, who scored the Bruins’ lone goal in Tuesday’s 4-1 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights, has 10 goals and 13 assists this season.

Tuesday’s game between the Minnesota Wild and Carolina Hurricanes was postponed because of COVID-19, one day after the Calgary Flames’ season was put on pause amid an organizational outbreak.
