BOSTON — Two talented top-six forwards won’t play Tuesday night when the Bruins host the Florida Panthers at TD Garden.
Bruins center David Krejci will miss his second consecutive game with an undisclosed injury, per head coach Claude Julien. Krejci, who also missed practice Friday and Monday, ranks second on the Bruins in scoring with nine points (three goals, six assists) in nine games.
“He’s going to be out (Tuesday night), but we don’t think it’s a real major issue and he should be back soon,” Julien said of Krejci’s injury.
Chris Kelly skated in Krejci’s spot on the top line alongside wingers Milan Lucic and Seth Griffith during Tuesday’s morning skate.
Florida Panthers coach Gerard Gallant said former Calder Trophy winner Jonathan Huberdeau won’t play against the Bruins. The 21-year-old winger did not travel with the team to Boston and is battling the flu.
Huberdeau has scored one goal with one assist in eight games for Florida this season.
