With the Boston Bruins "officially" clinching a berth in the 2022 Stanley Cup playoffs, it's time to look at franchise records that may be in reach for the club's most veteran skater, Patrice Bergeron.
The captain is playing in his 18th NHL season, all with the Bruins, where he's currently skated in 1,210 games and has amassed 395 goals and 578 assists for a grand total of 973 points.
More importantly, Bergeron has played in 160 playoff games, contributing 46 goals and 74 assists, winning the Stanley Cup in 2011.
Bergeron has the chance to climb a few of the Bruins' all-time playoff leaderboards: in games played, goals, assists and points.
Boston Bruins All-time Playoff Leaders: *currently on the roster
Bergeron needs just one goal, eight assists and five points to move into second place on three of the Bruins' all-time playoff leaderboards. Depending on how deep of a run Boston goes on, the captain would most likely need at least another playoff run next season to lead the club in all categories.
Obviously, the ultimate goal for Patrice Bergeron will be raising the Stanley Cup as the Boston Bruins captain, especially nearing the end of his storied career.
