Patrice Bergeron simply can't stop protecting the puck.

The Boston Bruins center and three-time Selke Award winner not only managed to hold on to it after crashing into the end boards, he opened the scoring in Thursday's game seconds later by roofing it over Scott Darling of the Chicago Blackhawks.

Bergeron now has 25 goals on the season.
