Patrice Bergeron Questionable For Bruins On Saturday Vs. Wild
BOSTON (CBS) -- Patrice Bergeron's second-period fight on Thursday night might have charged up his teammates, but it also might have come at a price.
Bergeron did not skate with the Bruins at Friday's practice, and he's questionable to play in Saturday's matinee in Minnesota.
Landon Ferraro skated in Bergeron's place at practice.
Julien labeled Bergeron's absence maintenance and also deemed him questionable for tomorrow vs. Minnesota.

Julien on Bergeron: "Right now, I can't guarantee tomorrow. We'll see tomorrow how he is, so I'd leave him as questionable right now."

Saturday's game will be the second of a six-game road trip, and the first of a back-to-back, as the B's will play Sunday afternoon in Detroit. After that, they'll head to Columbus, Nashville and Dallas before returning home on Feb. 22.
On Thursday night, Bergeron scored two goals and fought Blake Wheeler in the Bruins' 6-2 win over Winnipeg. His ice time was limited after the fight, though he did score his second goal after suffering whatever the apparently minor injury was.
