Julien doesn't know severity of Krejci's injury, says he will travel with team

Boston Bruins center David Krejci left Friday night's 5-1 loss to the St. Louis Blues after lining up Alex Steen for a hit that didn't go quite as planned.

Krejci limped to the bench with an apparent lower-body injury and needed help through the tunnel as he walked back to the dressing room. He did not return to the game.

"I don't know quite the severity of (the injury), so we'll have to see here," Bruins head coach Claude Julien said after the game, according to Joe Haggerty of CSNNE.com. 

On the bright side, Julien did add that Krejci will travel with the team to Chicago, where the Bruins will play the Blackhawks on Sunday in the final game of their current road trip.

Krejci dealt with hip and groin problems earlier in the season, which led to him missing time in the first half. The Bruins are 8-9-3 in 20 games without him in the lineup this season.

Ryan Spooner was called up to the big club Saturday and will be eligible to play in Sunday's game.
