"The Neutral Zone" Injury Notebook

David Krejci

Bruins' Krejci returns to practice on Monday:
Boston Bruins center David Krejci practiced Monday for the first time since sustaining an upper-body injury December 27 against the Ottawa Senators.

Krejci will travel with the Bruins when they face the Montreal Canadiens at Bell Centre on Tuesday.

Krejci said practice on Monday went well but that he is not at his best yet.

"It was kind of lonely here by myself, but it was good to get out there with the guys and get a real practice," Krejci told the Bruins website.

Henrik Sedin

Canucks' Henrik Sedin likely out until after All-Star break: Vancouver Canucks captain Henrik Sedin might not return to the lineup until after the All-Star break because of an upper-body injury sustained Sunday against the New York Islanders.

Sedin did not practice with the team on Monday at AmeriHealth Pavilion in Newark, N.J.


"We'll probably send him back [to Vancouver] so he won't have any more games the rest of the road trip," Canucks coach Willie Desjardins said. "Hopefully he'll be ready after the All-Star break. I think it's probably a 10-day injury or so."
