Bruins' David Krejci: Hampered by knee injury

Krejci dealt with a knee injury during the Bruins' first-round series against the Senators and was targeting the second round of the playoffs for a return, Fluto Shinzawa of the Boston Globe reports.

Analysis:

Considering he was planning a return in short order, Krejci's ailment does not sound overly serious, so he'll likely be ready to go once Boston begins the 2017-18 season. Despite playing in all 82 regular-season games for the first time since his third season in the league, the 30-year-old put up a relatively meager 54 points with a poor minus-12 rating, so he'll be looking to bounce back next year.
