On Thursday night, before the Bruins played against the Ottawa Senators, David Krejci was awarded with the 7th Player Award, an award that goes to the player who has exceeded the expectations voted by fans. Last year rookie Milan Lucic won it. This was definitely my choice as well, as Krejci has put up some nice numbers in only his second NHL season.
Voted on by Bruins fans online at NESN.com, NESN's Seventh Player Award is an annual award presented to the Bruin who went above and beyond the call of duty and exceed the expectations of Bruins fans during the 2008-2009 season. In addition to the Seventh Player Award trophy, Krejci will take home a 2009 Dodge Ram, courtesy of New England Dodge Dealers.
This year, in his first full season with the Bruins, the 22-year-old Krejci established career highs in games played (76, previous career high 56), goals (22, previous 6), assists (49, previous 21), points (71, previous 27) and plus/minus rating (+36, previous -3). Krejci - who ranks second on the team and 24th in the entire NHL in points - is one of four Bruins to have played in all 76 games to date, while his +36 rating currently leads the league.
