Bergeron, at 19 the youngest player in the AHL this season, has recorded 45 points in 42 games for Providence this season after taking the NHL by storm as a rookie in 2003-04.
He was named the MVP of the 2005 World Junior Championships after leading Canada to a gold medal.
Bergeron’s status for Monday’s All-Star Game is still unknown.
