BostonBruins.com - If Chris Wagner has learned anything over the last few months, it's that there is plenty in life that you just can't control.

"And even when you think you have control, you don't," said Wagner. "I think a lot of people learned that in life in the past seven months or so. And then you just have to be adaptable."

That was made clear for Wagner once again last weekend when he suffered a frightening episode during the Bruins' Game 4 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning. Wagner began suffering from an elevated heart rate during the second period and tried to play through it before realizing that something wasn't quite right.

"My heart rate was kind of pounding," Wagner said during his end-of-season media availability on Friday afternoon from Cape Cod. "I'm usually pretty good about recovering on the bench. Kind of knew something was up and kind of played through the second with the racing heartbeat and started to get some tests done in between the second and third.

"When it comes to your heart you've really got to be careful. That scared me a lot."
