X-rays on Patrice Bergeron's left leg, injured while blocking a shot Sunday against the Pittsburgh Penguins, came back negative, and the Bruins center is a game-time decision for Tuesday's game against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Defenseman Adam McQuaid (upper body), who also left Sunday's game, will be a game-time decision, too.
Coach Claude Julien told the media after Tuesday's morning skate that Bergeron and McQuaid would dress for warm-ups, and a decision would be made after that.
"Again, we're going to dress 13 forwards and seven D and make sure that everything's OK for tonight," Julien said. "I haven't had a chance to really talk to our trainer on everything, but I know McQuaid and Bergeron are possibilities, but not certainties."
In other injury news for the Bruins, forward Daniel Paille (upper body), who has missed the last five games, is expected back in the lineup Tuesday.
Forward Max Sauve, also hurt against the Penguins, was sent back to Boston and isn't available to play Tuesday. Benoit Pouliot (lower body), who has missed the last two games, isn't expected to play Tuesday night either.
With the uncertainty surrounding the injured players, the Bruins recalled forward Trent Whitfield from AHL Providence on an emergency basis.
