The Boston Bruins revealed that center David Krecji will miss four to six weeks of action with a partialy torn ACL in his left knee.

The injury occurred during a 5-1 loss to the St. Louis Blues on Feb. 20 while checking Alexander Steen during the second period.

“It’s a big loss when you lose a player of his caliber,” said linemate Milan Lucic. “He’s been an important player for us for the last number of years. He’s definitely one of those guys that’s hard to replace. At the end of the day, you still have a job to do. You still have to do it well. Just because one guy’s out of the lineup, [it] can’t change the whole focus of the team, the psyche of the team, or the psyche of one player as a linemate. That just means you have to find new chemistry with guys, work a little harder to find that, and hope that it comes.”

Krecji has already missed time this season with various injuries, playing in just 38 games. Boston is 9-9-3 without Krejci in the lineup. The team currently holds the final spot in the Eastern Conference Wild Card playoff race with a three-point advantage over the Florida Panthers.
