The NHL-leading Boston Bruins are next in action tomorrow night against their Original 6 and Atlantic Division rival Toronto Maple Leafs, and it appears as though not only will they continue to be without forward Taylor Hall, but veteran forward David Krejci as well.
According to several Bruins beat writers, Krejci departed practice early this morning for an unknown reason. Head coach David Montgomery later stated that he was experiencing some discomfort, and that his status for tomorrow night’s game isn’t set in stone.
Meanwhile, Hall continues to work towards a return to the lineup, and hasn’t been ruled out of playing tomorrow.
“There’s still some steps and conversations I have to have before I’m fully playing,” Hall told 98.5 The Sports Hub’s Ty Anderson after practice. “We’ll know that by (Thursday) morning.”
Krejci has scored 16 goals with 40 assists for the Bruins since making his return to the team after playing a year in his native homeland. Meanwhile, Hall has also tallied 16 goals along with 20 assists as he’s settled into a 3rd line role with the President’s Trophy winners.
