Gagne missed Tuesday's practice for personal reasons, Fluto Shinzawa of the Boston Globe reports. It's not clear at this point if Gagne's absence will extend beyond Tuesday's practice. At any rate, it appears that with the impending return of David Krejci, he could be at risk of getting phased out of the lineup. The veteran winger has three goals and four points in 23 games this season.
