Krejci (undisclosed) is slated to play Friday against the Blues, CSN New England reports.

Analysis:

Krejci missed Wednesday's practice, but returned to the ice Thursday, putting him firmly on track to play Friday. Of course, we're at the time of the season where scores of NHLers are playing through minor or nagging injuries and it's quite possible that's case here. Still, with the Bruins needing every point they can muster in order to qualify for the playoffs, the likes of Krejci will continue to tough it out, with true clarity on the injury front not likely to arrive until the close of the team's 2015-16 season.
