Bruins' Cassidy 'anticipates' Bergeron will play Game 5

All signs are pointing toward Patrice Bergeron returning to the Boston Bruins' lineup for Game 5 against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday.

"Looked good this morning, I anticipate he'll play," Bruins head coach Bruce Cassidy said. "We'll make a final decision after warmup. Looking good."

Bergeron was a surprising late scratch prior to Game 4 due to an upper-body injury, but the Bruins were able to pull off a 3-1 victory without their four-time Selke Trophy winner in the lineup.

Saturday's morning skate was nothing out of the ordinary, as Bergeron skated between Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak during line rushes, and took his usual spot on the power play.

Game 5 is set for 8 p.m. ET in Boston.
