BOSTON -- Bruins captain Patrice Bergeron won't be in the lineup when his team hosts the Florida Panthers for Game 1 of their first-round playoff series Monday night at TD Garden. 

Bergeron left last Thursday night's regular season finale against the Montreal Canadiens early with an upper body injury. He also was sick the last few days and did not practice Saturday or Sunday.

Bergeron did not take the ice for warmups Monday night. ESPN's Emily Kaplan reported he will not play.

Second-line center David Krejci, fourth-line left wing Nick Foligno and veteran defenseman Derek Forbort are in the lineup.

Here's how the Bruins' lines and pairings looked in warmups:
