David Krejci News

Krejci left Friday's game with a lower-body injury and did not return.

Krejci crashed to this ice while trying to hit Alex Steen on Friday night. He limped off of the ice to the dressing room and did not return. He will travel with the team to Chicago, but there is no word on if he will play on Sunday. Expect an update in the next 24 hours.

Krejci (lower-body) is on the ice for warmups; he is expected to play tonight vs. the Wild.

Krejci has been sidelined with a lower-body injury since November 18th, but will return to the Bruins lineup tonight. The injury continued to linger and held the playmaking centre out longer than expected, but he should provide a big offensive spark for the B’s. He has 10 points (3G / 7A) in 11 games this season.

Krejci (lower-body) could return to the Bruins lineup on Wednesday.

Krejci practiced on Tuesday, but was ruled out prior to the game. The Bruins did not have a morning skate because of the back-to-back, but coach Julien said that Krejci is a possibility for tonight. Monitor his status during pre-game warmups, which start at 7:30 PM ET.

Krejci (lower-body) is likely out tonight.

Krejci, who has been practicing with the team, took part in the Bruins morning skate but stayed on after the majority of the team left the ice, which is a sign that he will be a scratch tonight vs. the Blackhawks. However, he is very close and has not been officially ruled out.

The Bruins have placed David Krejci (lower-body) on injured reserve.

Krejci continues to battle a nagging lower-body injury that has cost him eight of the last games. His IR move is retroactive to November 18th which means he can return whenever he is healthy. He has been moved to IR to make room for the Bruins to recall Craig Cunningham.

Krejci (lower-body) will not play on Monday.

Krejci will miss his third straight game and it is the seventh of the last eight games he has missed. Bruins head coach Claude Julien said that Krejci suffered a setback last week but “it’s not something that we’re going to have to manage all year.” That is positive news, but at this point it doesn’t sound like Krejci is close to playing.

Krejci’s status for Tuesday’s game in unclear.

Krejci has missed the last four games with a hip injury, but was on the ice for the Bruins morning skate today and could return to the lineup. Head coach Claude Julien said that they will make a decision on Krejci’s status closer to game-time. If he can't go the Bruins will recall a forward from Providence.

Krejci (hip) will not play on the Bruins two-game road trip.

Krejci’s lingering hip pain will keep him in Boston this week as the team travels to Toronto and Montreal on Wednesday and Thursday. Chris Kelly will remain in the top-6 with Krejci out. The next game he could be back for would be Saturday, at home vs. the Hurricanes.

Krejci (hip) will not play Monday.

Krejci continues to be hampered by a sore hip and will now miss his third of the Bruins last four games. The 28-year-old centre has 10 points (3G / 7A) in 10 games despite being bothered by hip pain, but it has become too much to play through. He is listed as day-to-day.

Krejci (hip) is not on the ice for the Bruins morning skate; listed as doubtful to play.

This is the fourth straight day that Krejci has not been on the ice. He returned to the lineup last Thursday after a two-game absence, but it looks like he will be out of the lineup once again. If he is out, expect Chris Kelly to move back up into the top-6.
