David Krejci skated on his own for 20 minutes ahead of Tuesday’s practice.

Coach Jim Montgomery said the second-line center is “progressing well” from an upper-body injury, but he will not be available for Game 5.

Montgomery did add that Krejci — set to miss his third straight game — “potentially” could play in a Game 6, if necessary, on Friday.
