Watch: Bergeron scores late winner in season debut
Winslow Townson / USA TODAY Sports
Patrice Bergeron is back, and once again making a world of difference for the Boston Bruins.
In his first start of the season after missing a trio of games with an upper-body injury, Bergeron placed an expert shot through a maze in front of Cory Schneider with 75 seconds left, giving Boston its first lead Thursday versus the New Jersey Devils.
Bergeron was then called upon to help kill the remaining ticks on a man advantage for the Devils; the captain ensured Boston would improve to 3-1 on the season.
