BOSTON (AP) — Patrice Bergeron has a punctured lung and is at a Boston-area hospital for observation.

The Bruins forward was admitted Monday night, after Boston lost to Chicago, 3-2, in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final at TD Garden — a defeat which ended the season.

Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli and coach Claude Julien addressed Bergeron’s status Wednesday, the same day they held exit interviews with the players.

Bergeron was already slowed by injuries headed into Game 6. He was a question mark to even play due to a broken rib and torn cartilage. After not participating in the morning skate Monday, he appeared during warmups and played in the loss. In the first period, though, he suffered a separated shoulder.

Bergeron had 10 goals and 32 points in the shortened regular season, as well as nine and 15, respectively, in the postseason. Combined, he had a plus-26 rating this year.

An offseason of question marks is off and running in Boston, as the Bruins look to keep their solid nucleus in town while also plot for the future.

Forward Nathan Horton will become a free agent next month, and in a class that’s regarded as weak and doesn’t feature a lot of star power, he is easily one of the most marketable, skilled players available.

Defenseman Andrew Ference, for instance, will not be re-signed, and his place will likely be filled by Dougie Hamilton, Matt Bartkowski and Torey Krug, who all played in the playoffs.

Forward Jaromir Jagr, the game’s leading active scorer who was acquired at the trading deadline from Dallas, did not score in the postseason, and will also not be back. The 41-year-old native of the Czech Republic, who has been on three teams the last two seasons, hopes to find another in the NHL this summer. And, veteran forward Jay Pandolfo, who signed with the club during the season as an extra forward, will not be re-signed.
