Bergeron out with concussion

Well if you saw it on Saturday then you probably thought the same as I did when Patrice Bergeron stayed down on the ice after a collision where his head seemed to hit a Hurricanes' players head. Bergeron has a concussion and will be out indefinitely. On Sunday Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli released this statement:

"After first being treated at the TD Banknorth Garden yesterday, Patrice was diagnosed as having sustained a concussion, and was admitted to Mass General Hospital under the care of Dr. Peter Asnis."

"Since being admitted to MGH Patrice has undergone extensive testing, and all of the results have come back normal. When examined this morning, his condition had improved greatly over last night, and he was released from the hospital. There is no timetable for his return to the ice."

In other news, on Saturday the Bruins recalled center Martin St. Pierre from the Providence Bruins (AHL). Marco Sturm was placed on long-term injured reserve. Some info about St. Pierre this season in the AHL:

The leading scorer for the P-Bruins this season and second leading scorer in the AHL, St. Pierre has recorded a 10-25=35 line in 30 games. His 25 assists lead the team and his 10 goals rank tied for second.
