Boston's Bergeron injured in Philadelphia's 2-1 win over Bruins

Martin Biron stopped 38 shots and Mike Richards had a short-handed goal to lift Philadelphia to a 2-1 win over host Boston on Saturday in a game marred by Flyers defenseman Randy Jones' ferocious hit on Bruins center Patrice Bergeron.

Bergeron lost consciousness and was taken from the ice on a stretcher during the first period after he was hammered into the boards by Jones.

Bergeron was transported to Massachusetts General Hospital and was diagnosed with a broken nose and a concussion by Bruins team physician Dr. Bertram Zarins.

Tests didn't show any other serious injuries to Bergeron's head or neck, and he was awake and able to move all his limbs, Zarins said.

Bergeron was injured while chasing a loose puck with Jones behind the Philadelphia net. The center absorbed the heavy hit directly to his back, hit the glass face-first and went straight down to the ice on his back. His eyes were closed and he didn't seem to be moving.

As the whistle blew, Boston's Chuck Kobasew went after Jones, drawing a two-minute roughing penalty. Jones drew a 5-minute major and a game misconduct.

The win snapped the Flyers' two-game losing streak and handed the Bruins their first home loss of the season.

Biron faced 32 shots over the final two periods, raising his record to 7-2.
