David Krejci

So far, the Bruins MVP has been David Krejci. Without him, the Bruins would be in big trouble.

Krejci has had a point in every game of the series so far. In total, he has two goals and three assists.

We have seen Krejci show off his passing skills and they have been a delight to watch. He has the perfect touch and showed that in Game Three floating a pass to Brad Marchand who sealed the game with an empty-net goal.

Also, Krejci showed his supreme offensive skill. On the power play, he took advantage of the defender not having a stick. He was patient, utilized shot fakes, and was able to put it past James Reimer.

Obviously, you would like to see the first line playing better, but as long as Krejci is playing this well the Bruins will do fine. He just needs to stay hot because if he goes cold, the Bruins will be in trouble.
