Bruins' Krejci diagnosed with swine flu
BOSTON -- The Boston Bruins say forward David Krejci has been diagnosed with swine flu.
General manager Peter Chiarelli announced Thursday that the team's medical staff confirmed a diagnosis of H1N1 for the 23-year-old Krejci, who is in his fourth season with the Bruins.
The club said Krejci will be kept away from the team until he has had no symptoms or fever for 24 hours. Chiarelli said the Bruins are taking precautions to try to protect others in the organization from the virus.
After scoring 22 goals and 51 assists last season, Krejci received a three-year contract worth more than $11 million a few days before having hip surgery in June. In 14 games this season, he has one goal and four assists.
