David Krejci: (Knee) Activated From IR, Set To Play

Krejci (knee) was activated from injured reserve and appears in line to play Thursday against the Ducks.

Analysis:

After coach Claude Julien called Krejci probable to play after the team's morning skate, the activation from IR adds further evidence that the forward will suit up. While Julien said that Krejci's status would be officially decided after the Bruins complete their warmup, it seems fairly safe for fantasy owners to pencil him in the lineup for the first time since Feb. 20. The steady play the Bruins have received down the middle from Ryan Spooner over the last several weeks will result in Krejci moving over from his usual center spot to right wing Thursday, likely on a line with Brad Marchand and Patrice Bergeron. Krejci, who has been limited to 38 games during an injury-plagued season, has collected seven goals and 19 assists to date.
