After an awkward collision with the Flyers’ Shayne Gostisbehere, David Krejci left the ice in an effort to prevent further aggravation of what was later reported by the Boston Bruins to be a lower-body injury.
Krejci took the rest of the game to recuperate and did not practice with the team the following day.
The play where David Krejci was injured seems to be a classic case of leg/groin area over-extension. Gostisbehere, while attempting to clear the puck out of the Flyers net, skates to follow the play and unfortunately catches Krejci right at the hip, causing Krejci’s left leg to drag back while the rest of his body moves forward.
