4. David Krejci

Another 2nd liner has been having some problems in the postseason. David Krejci has been invisible since the Stanley Cup Finals began.

So far Krejci hasn’t registered a single point in the the Stanley Cup Finals. It is hard to get any worse than that.

It seems like the Blues physical play is getting to Krejci. The center is known for his great ability to enter the zone and make magic happen.

The Bruins need Krejci to show up. If he starts playing well we will start to see Jake DeBrusk and David Backes get some good scoring chances.

Krejci needs to do everything he can to get past the blue line and retain puck possession. Then the Bruins will get some good scoring opportunities.

With all the injuries to their defenseman, the Boston Bruins need their top lines to play well and start scoring. If not the Blues could be the ones lifting the Stanley Cup at the end of the series.
