Patrice Bergeron has been on fire his past five games.

The Boston Bruins center has four goals and two assists on 22 shots with a plus-five rating over his last five games, but his offense hasn't been the only impressive thing during that stretch.

"(Bergeron's) going to get highlighted because of his offensive output and fairly so," NESN's Bill Jaffe said on "Big Bad Bruins Live" before Boston's game against the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday. "But it continues to be everything he does with, without the puck, in the faceoff circle -- in every aspect of the game, this guy is becoming, believe it or not, better. And that's the sign of an amazing pro."
