Patrice Bergeron will miss Bruins opener, Kevan Miller expected to be out six weeks
The Bruins begin their season Thursday night in Columbus, but some of their most recognizable names won’t be joining them.
The team announced Wednesday that forward Patrice Bergeron won’t travel with the team as he recovers from a lower-body injury, while defensemen Adam McQuaid (upper-body) and Kevan Miller (left hand fracture) will also be unavailable.
Miller’s injury is the most severe of the three, and he had to undergo surgery on Tuesday to repair his fractured hand. He is expected to miss six weeks.
Miller, 28, had his best season last year, playing in 71 games and scoring 5 goals with 13 assists.
