Krejci scored a power-play goal and added two assists, one also on the man advantage, in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Panthers in Game 7 of the Bruins' first-round series.

EDGE Analysis

After the Bruins fell behind 2-0 on home ice, Krejci took matters into his own hands and helped produce three straight goals to give his team the lead, only to see it -- and Boston's historic campaign -- slip away late. The 37-year-old will be a free agent in the offseason after scoring 16 goals and 56 points through 70 games during the regular season, and Krejci has yet to indicate whether he intends to return to Boston in 2023-24 or head into retirement.

Krejci (upper body) won't be available for Game 5 against Florida on Wednesday, Conor Ryan of Boston.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Krejci will miss his third consecutive contest after being a late scratch ahead of Game 3 last Friday. He has picked up one assist and four shots on goal this postseason. Head coach Jim Montgomery said Tuesday that Krejci is "progressing well," and could be ready to play in Game 6 on Friday. Of course, Boston currently leads the best-of-seven series 3-1, so a sixth contest may not be necessary.

Krejci (upper body) will remain sidelined for Game 4 against the Panthers on Sunday, per Conor Ryan of Boston.com.

EDGE Analysis

It'll be the third game Krejci has missed since suffering an upper-body injury prior to Game 2 of the series. Per Coach Jim Montgomery, it appears Krejci is doubtful to return for Game 5, as well. The 36-year-old center logged an assist in the series opener after tallying 16 goals and 56 points in the regular season. Jakub Lauko will likely remain in the lineup while Krejci is out.

Krejci was a late scratch after taking part in warmups Friday and his timeline is still unclear at the moment. The veteran forward averaged 20:12 of ice time with a minus-3 rating in the first two games of the series. Barring another update, he'll likely be considered a game-time decision for Sunday.
