Scary scene as Bergeron is bloodied after taking a stick near the eye (VIDEO)

Not many current players have more battle scars on their face than Patrice Bergeron, and the Bruins captain added another one Monday night in Edmonton.

With 4:30 remaining in the third period and Boston holding a 3-2 lead, Bergeron took an errant stick from Oilers forward Klim Kostin and was immediately in distress.

See below:

Bergeron quickly threw off his gloves and nervously clutched his face. Thankfully, he was patched up and no damage was done to his eyes.

Scary scene that could have been a lot worse!

The Bruins were also able to hold on for the 3-2 win and improved to 46-8-5 on the season.
