Although ultimately leaving the ice after the officials insistence in the 2nd period, Bergeron returned to the ice in the 3rd, scoring a goal and adding 2 assists to help Boston beat Carolina 5-2 and even the best of 7 series at 2 games each.
Playoff hockey really demonstrates the toughness and willingness to play through injury and pain NHL players have demonstrated over the years, and Patrice Bergeron really exemplified that Sunday afternoon.
