BOSTON (AP) - The Boston Bruins say forward David Krejci has
been diagnosed with swine flu.

General manager Peter Chiarelli announced Thursday that the
team's medical staff confirmed a diagnosis of H1N1 for the
23-year-old Krejci, who is in his fourth season with the Bruins.

The club said Krejci will be kept away from the team until he
has had no symptoms or fever for 24 hours. Chiarelli said the
Bruins are taking precautions to try to protect others in the
organization from the virus.

After scoring 22 goals and 51 assists last season, Krejci
received a three-year contract worth more than $11 million a few days before having hip surgery in June. In 14 games this season, he has one goal and four assists.
