VIDEO: Patrice Bergeron reaches milestone with opening goal against Montreal Canadiens

The Boston Bruins are at Bell Centre to face the Montreal Canadiens for a second of a back-to-back weekend set.

Bruins' captain Patrice Bergeron opened the scoring after watching a special tribute to honour the life and career of one of his personal heroes, Guy Lafleur. Bergeron, the Quebec native, talked this morning about how important Lafleur was in influencing his hockey career.

Bergeron offered his condolences at this morning's media coverage:

With his opening goal, Bergeron notched his 21st of the season and 396th of his NHL career, all with Boston, of course. That 396th goal moved him past Ray Bourque and into sole possession of fourth all-time on the Bruins' goals scored leaderboard.

The goal was assisted by Brad Marchand and Jake DeBrusk at 15:03 of the first period; check out Bergeron's milestone goal here:
