The Boston Bruins have been hoping that forward David Krejci would bounce back a little faster after his offseason hip surgery. That didn’t happen. The Bruins alternate captain looked tentative at times. That led to a lack of production that hurt the Black and Gold in a few games.
Thankfully the Bruins top and bottom lines were putting in the lion’s share of goals to keep the Bruins competitive. It also helped that Tuukka Rask (This week’s NHL First Star) was stealing games from other teams.
David Krejci scored his first goal of the season on a 5-on-3 power play against the Buffalo Sabres last week.
