It’s not the end of the world though; the Boston Bruins have an ‘able’ replacement for David Krejci in new summer recruit, Par Lindholm and frankly could do worse things than give the third-line and fourth line centers Charlie Coyle and Sean Kuraly, a little extra ice-time should Lindholm not be able to keep pace with his linemates.
Given that David Krejci was practising for the Boston Bruins on Monday wearing a non-contact jersey and given that he’s seen very minimal pre-season action, you’d almost hope that he isn’t thrown straight in on opening night against the likes of Dallas Stars centers, Joe Pavelski and Tyler Seguin.
