Boston Bruins forward David Krejci has been
diagnosed with the H1N1 virus and will be isolated from the rest of the team.
Krejci has not missed a game this season, but the Bruins said Thursday he will
be kept away from the team until he is symptom-free for 24 hours.
"Like most people, we are taking many precautions to try to prevent our
players and staff from contracting the H1N1 virus," said Bruins general
manager Peter Chiarelli in a statement. "Our medical staff is working with
David to get him healthy as soon as possible, and our players and staff will
continue to take precautions with hopes of preventing the spread of the virus
to others in the organization."
Krejci has a goal and four assists for five points this season. He set career
bests last season with 22 goals and 73 points. His 51 assists ranked second on
the club and he led the NHL with a rating of plus-37.
