Bruins center Patrice Bergeron took a major step forward in his recovery from a concussion on Monday morning, as he participated in the Bruins' practice at the TD Garden.
Bergeron, who suffered the concussion on May 6, had previously skated on his own before practice, but on Monday, after a session with coach John Whitesides, he joined the rest of the team for power-play drills, according to NESN's Naoko Funayama.
The return to practice with the team does not guarantee Bergeron will play Tuesday night in Game 2, however, as Claude Julien stated rather clearly over the weekend that Bergeron won't play until he's 100 percent.
Also of note at practice on Monday was that rookie Tyler Seguin was also involved in power-play drills. Seguin scored in his playoff debut Saturday night but finished the night with just 9:38 of ice time. If Julien decides to insert Seguin into the power play, he could add the speed and scoring touch that's currently missing from the unit, which has gone 2-for-41 this postseason.
