During Saturday night's contest between the Buffalo Sabres and Boston Bruins, cameras captured Patrice Bergeron having a quick little discussion with Tage Thompson.

It wasn't very clear what the two were talking about, until Monday, when Thompson told reporters that Bergeron was asking him how his wife, Rachel, was doing. Thompson's wife underwent surgery in January of 2019 to remove a cancerous mass from her leg.

"It's big," Tage told The Buffalo News following practice Monday. "Obviously, he didn't have to say anything. He kind of went out of his way to check on her and ask how she's doing. It's just the kind of guy he is. He's just a genuine guy, cares about other people."

With all the negativity that's going on in the world right now, it's really nice to see a story like this. It just shows that Bergeron remains to be one of the classiest players in the National Hockey League.
