Krejci practiced with the team Monday for the first time since suffering an upper-body injury Dec. 27.

Analysis:

Krejci remains without a definite timetable, but he's making some significant progress in his recovery. It isn't out of the question that he'll return to the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Canadiens, but the Bruins will need to activate him from injured reserve before he'd be eligible to take part in game action.
