Bruins activate David Krejci from injured reserve
Boston Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney announced Thursday that the team has activated forward David Krejci from injured reserve. Krejci has not been in the Bruins’ lineup since Dec. 27, 2015 due to an upper-body injury.
In 35 games with the Bruins this year, Krejci tallied 11 goals and 22 assists for 33 points, tied for the third on the squad even after his absence. The 29-year-old was named the NHL’s Third Star for the month of October.
Krejci has played all nine-plus of his NHL seasons with the Bruins, amassing 128 goals and 442 points in 586 games.
To make room for Krejci, the Bruins assigned 21-year-old rookie forward Frank Vatrano to the Providence Bruins of the American Hockey League. Vatrano has played in 30 games for Boston, racking up six goals and an assist. In 10 games with Providence earlier this season, he tallied 10 goals and two assists.
With Krejci available to play, the Bruins face the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday night at TD Garden.
