David Krejci Named Arbella Player of the Week

There's only been one game to choose this week's Arbella Player of the Week, but one game was all David Krejci needed to prove his worth to the Bruins.

The center — who, along with linemates Michael Ryder and Blake Wheeler, has struggled throughout much of the first half of this season before rebounding valiantly over the past couple of weeks — registered a goal and a plus-2 rating in Boston's big 3-2 shootout win over the Panthers on Saturday night. Krejci also tallied a goal to perpetuate the shootout and give the B's the chance to win.

Saturday's win was crucial, as it stretched Boston's win streak to four and helped the B's jump right back into the Eastern Conference playoff picture.

And now that it's time for the Olympics, Krejci is getting right down to business with his Czech Republic teammates, helping his squad earn a big victory over Slovakia on Wednesday.
