BOSTON -- A center for the Boston Bruins has been diagnosed with the H1N1 flu, team General Manager Peter Chiarelli said Thursday.

David Krejci's diagnosis was confirmed by the club’s medical staff. Based on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations, Krejci will be isolated from the rest of the team until he is symptom-and fever-free for 24 hours.

"Like most people, we are taking many precautions to try to prevent our players and staff from contracting the H1N1 virus," said Chiarelli. "Our medical staff is working with David to get him healthy as soon as possible, and our players and staff will continue to take precautions with hopes of preventing the spread of the virus to others in the organization."

"Nobody knows how long those things can stay with you. So, he needs to be quarantined until he is symptom-free," said Coach Claude Julien.

Krejci, 23, was born in Czechoslovakia and has played for the Bruins since 2007. Last year, he scored 22 goals and had 51 assists.
