David Krejci (upper body) remains out Tuesday against the Canadiens

Krejci (upper body) will not play Tuesday night against the Canadiens, per Bruins head coach Claude Julien.

Analysis:

Krejci reportedly took part in an optional skate Tuesday morning, an encouraging sign as he tries to overcome the upper-body ailment that has kept him out of action since Dec. 27. Krejci should be reevaluated ahead of Thursday's home tilt against the Canucks.
