BOSTON (AP) — Although David Krejci is the NHL’s leading playoff scorer and the Bruins’ first-line center as they play for the Stanley Cup, he can still walk around Boston pretty much unnoticed.
And it’s not just because his unruly playoff beard resembles a disguise at this point.
The Czech forward doesn’t mind that he hasn’t attracted nearly the international attention he probably deserves heading into the Bruins’ elimination game against the Vancouver Canucks on Monday night.
Krejci has been a quietly dependable contributor for Boston for four seasons, maturing into a standout playmaker even before this breakout postseason. Yet he realizes he’s still Plan B on the Bruins’ top line, getting the spot after Marc Savard’s concussions sidelined him.
