Report: Krejci to miss World Cup
Richard Mackson / USA TODAY Sports
Boston Bruins center David Krejci won't play in the upcoming World Cup, reports TV NOVA Sport's Roman Jedlicka.
Krejci, 30, is recovering from offseason hip surgery, and the World Cup's schedule is likely too soon for his return to game action.
It's a tough blow for a Czech team short on offense, heading into its tournament-opener against Russia on Sept. 8.
Team captain Tomas Plekanec could now become the team's top center.
