Boston Bruins forward Patrice Bergeron skated for the first time since suffering a concussion eight days ago.

Bergeron went on the ice by himself for a "light skate" according to head coach Claude Julien.

"This is something that is protocol. Today was a light skate on his own. There's not much more we can give you," said Julien.

Bergeron, who has a history of concussions, suffered another one in Game 4 of the Bruins series against the Philadelphia Flyers when he was hit by Claude Giroux.
