Nov 6 2010 - T.J. Oshie St. Louis Blues Krejci.AVI

BOSTON -- The Bruins are awaiting further word on the health of top-line center David Krejci after his head collided with the far center boards on a check by St. Louis center T.J. Oshie with 4:15 left in overtime on Saturday night at TD Garden. He was on the ice for a minute before getting to his knees and then his feet. He was helped off the ice by Zdeno Chara and Andrew Ference and then headed directly to the dressing room and did not return.

"Not yet," Julien said when asked if he had any word on Krejci's condition. "Obviously, he got his bell rung there We don't know what the severity is yet. I didn't see the replay. He's here and he's being evaluated."

Krejci, who was knocked out of Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Flyers last spring with a dislocated wrist, leads the team in assists (8) through 11 games and is tied for second with Milan Lucic in points (10), one behind Nathan Horton.

Oshie defended the hit, which was not penalized. "Just two guys going at the puck, Oshie said. "I tried to get low and get a good center of gravity. He was coming at me. From what it looked like, he was coming to hit me as well. It was a had battle tonight, a physical game. I certainly hope that he's ok and he'll be back."

You ma' boy Oshie! lol Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was clean. I like how my fantasy hockey notes section put it: "It's not that he actually hit Krejci's head -- Krejci initiated the hit but discovered Oshie is a brick wall." That was a good game though. I should've been there for it. - The biggest (maybe only?) Blues fan in Rhode Island, (surrounded by Bruins fans! Argh!)
