BOSTON — Bruins center David Krejci missed practice Monday at TD Garden and is considered “day to day,” according to head coach Claude Julien.
Julien wouldn’t comment on the nature of Krejci’s injury. The first-liner missed practice Friday and was a late scratch before Saturday night’s 4-2 win over the Ottawa Senators.
Krejci missed the first three games of the regular season with an undisclosed injury, and Julien didn’t comment when asked if the current ailment is related.
Chris Kelly skated in Krejci’s spot on the top line alongside wingers Milan Lucic and Seth Griffith during Monday’s practice, which also is where he played in Saturday’s game.
“I’ve played with Lucic before, (Saturday against Ottawa) was my first time playing with Seth,” Kelly said. “I thought we had a good game. We had some good scoring chances. Unfortunately, we were on the ice for a goal against. Big picture, I thought we played well and we supported each other. We weren’t in our end too much, and hopefully that continues.”
In other Bruins injury news, Kevan Miller skated after the team finished practice. The defenseman hasn’t played since Oct. 18 when he dislocated his right shoulder against the Buffalo Sabres.
The Bruins will host the Florida Panthers on Tuesday night at the Garden.
