Boston Bruins forward David Krejci has been ruled out of Sunday's Game 4 of the Eastern Conference first-round series against the host Florida Panthers due to an upper-body injury.
Bruins coach Jim Montgomery said Krejci is unlikely to play in Game 5 on Wednesday in Boston. «I wouldn't think he's a real option for Game 5,» Montgomery said.
The Bruins hold a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series entering Sunday's game in Sunrise, Florida. Krejci, 36, was a late scratch prior to Boston's 4-2 victory over Florida on Friday in Game 3 of the series.
He recorded his lone point — an assist — in the playoffs during the Bruins' 3-1 win on Monday in the series opener. Krejci had 56 points (16 goals, 40 assists) in 70 games this season.
