Hart trophy candidate and Boston Bruins leading goal scorer Patrice Bergeron is reportedly a game-time decision for Sunday's contest against the Buffalo Sabres, according to TSN's Bob McKenzie.

Bergeron was seen leaving the locker room following Saturday night's loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs in a walking boot due to an apparent shot block taken during the course of the game.

The Bruins have yet to provide an official update on Begeron's status, but Sportsnet's Nick Kypreos is reporting the walking boot was merely a precaution, and that Bergeron's injury is not considered serious.

Bergeron is in the midst of another sensational season for Boston, racking up 27 goals and 27 assists.
