David Krejci(upper body) isn't slated to travel with the Bruins as the team's five-game road trip opens in New Jersey on Friday, but coach Claude Julien didn't rule out the possibility that the center could join the team on the road later in the trip.

Analysis:

Krejci thus remains on the DL, with no concrete timetable for a return to the lineup. The playmaking pivot last saw action for the B's back on Dec. 27 against Ottawa. For now, Patrice Bergeron and Ryan Spooner are centering the team's top two lines in Krejci's absence.
