Bruins' Krejci will undergo offseason hip surgery

Boston Bruins center David Krejci will undergo offseason hip surgery, the team announced Monday.

Krejci admitted the issue bothered him for the final quarter of the season, and is related to what limited him to 47 games in 2014-15.

Although he felt he was in good enough shape to help the team down the stretch in hopes of qualifying for the playoffs, he's looking forward to the opportunity to return to full health and maximum his effectiveness.

Krejci had same surgery on his other hip 6 years ago. "Looking fwd to getting it done & be the player I can be, w/ nothing holding me back"
