Boston Bruins center Patrice Bergeron is expected to play Thursday against the New York Islanders after missing a few games with a head injury.

Thankfully, it wasn't a concussion he was dealing with. Bergeron will play with Taylor Hall and David Pastrnak, causing Erik Haula to be bumped down the lineup.

Bergeron also addressed Tuukka Rask's retirement, reminding us he's not too far off from that decision as well.

Plus, Brad Marchand appealed his 6-game suspension Wednesday in New York. Will it lead to a reduction?
