Krejci missed Friday's game against Columbus due to an unspecified injury issue that is suspected to involve his hip, according to the Boston Herald.

Analysis:

While coach Claude Julien didn't go into specifics about Krejci's injury, he noted Friday that "it's one of those things where one day he's feeling 100 percent — the next day not so much." While Julien suggests that the Bruins don't expect Krejci's injury to linger on down the road, he acknowledged that at this stage, "it's just an issue where right now, as we speak, it's a little bit dicey." The center's status for Saturday's game against Montreal is thus cloudy.
