All the focus right now is on what's next for longtime Bruins David Krejci and Patrice Bergeron but nobody's bringing up what Krejci accomplished in game seven.
Playoff Performer
After missing games 3, 4 and 5, Krejci appeared in the 12th game seven of his career, and once again, showed up big. In 19:32 of ice time, the 37-year-old recorded 1 goal and 2 assists.
And with that, Krejci broke a league record previously held by two NHL legends. As per NHL Public Relations:
* David Krejci (1-1�2) collected his 11th career assist in a Game 7 (1-11�12). He passed Doug Gilmour (3-10�13) and Jaromir Jagr (1-10�11) for the most in NHL history.
Not only that, but the Bruins veteran also moved into a tie with Doug Gilmour for the second most all-time points in a game seven. Justin Williams leads the way with 15 points (7 goals and 8 assists).
