<p><a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.stanleycupofchowder.com/">Boston Bruins</a> forward <span>David Krejci</span>, who suffered an undisclosed injury on Oct. 11 while practicing in Wilmington, will be sidelined until Saturday, when he is expected to be re-evaluated for this weekend’s game against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.secondcityhockey.com/">Blackhawks</a>.</p>
<p>The severity of the injury is not known, but Krejci will remain in Boston for medical testing while the team travels to Carolina for Wednesday night’s game.</p>
<p>Today’s news comes on the heels of <a href="http://boston.sbnation.com/boston-bruins/2011/10/11/2483343/boston-bruins-rich-peverley-three-year-contract-extension" target="new">Rich Peverley’s new three-year contract extension</a>, which is not the only roster change announced in the past 24 hours.</p>
<p>Earlier in the day, the Bruins’ brass brought word that Defenseman <span>Andrew Bodnarchuk</span> and center Josh Hennessy have been taken off the injured/non-roster list, cleared waivers, and have been assigned to Providence (<span class="caps">AHL</span>) while Forward <span>Yannick Riendeau</span> has been assigned to Reading (<span class="caps">ECHL</span>).</p>
<p>For more on the Bruins, who are hoping to rebound from Monday’s 1-0 loss to the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.milehighhockey.com/">Avalanche</a>, drink from the <a href="http://www.stanleycupofchowder.com/" target="new">Stanley Cup of Chowder</a> right <a href="http://www.stanleycupofchowder.com/" target="new">here</a>.</p>

<p><a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.stanleycupofchowder.com/">Boston Bruins</a> forward <span>David Krejci</span> left the ice at the B's practice facility in Wilmington today with an apparent leg injury, though the extent of it isn't known yet.</p>
<p>Bruins coach Claude Julien wouldn't specify exactly what part of the leg Krejci injured and wouldn't shed any light on whether the B's forward would be available to travel with the team to Carolina for their battle with the rival <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.canescountry.com/">Hurricanes</a> tomorrow night at RBC Arena.</p>
<p>"I don't know, I can't really tell you the severity of it right now,'' Julien said after practice. "He's being looked at.''</p>
<p>If Krejci isn't healthy, he's unlikely to travel with the team to Raleigh and would probably be replaced on the top line by second year forward <span>Tyler Seguin</span> or seventh year forward <span>Patrice Bergeron</span>.</p>
<p>The Bruins are off to a 1-2 start in defense of their Stanley Cup Championship, and there are concerns that the team has been in too much of a comfort zone to begin the year.</p>
