Boston Bruins forward Patrice Bergeron was released from hospital Sunday after being held overnight with a concussion and a broken nose.
The team will address Bergeron's status on Monday.
Bergeron suffered the injury after being knocked unconscious when he was hit from behind into the boards by Philadelphia Flyers defenceman Randy Jones late in the first period of Saturday's game.
Jones was assessed a five-minute major penalty for boarding and a game misconduct after the hit, which came with 3:53 remaining in the opening period.
Bergeron, 22, was taken off the TD Banknorth Garden ice on a stretcher and was transported to Massachusetts General Hospital, where he was evaluated by a team physician.

He was very fortunate to not have sustained a greater injury, although a Grade 3 concussion is no joke.

hopefully it will not keep him out of the lineup longer than necessary.
