Boston, MA (Sports Network) - Boston Bruins forward David Krejci has been diagnosed with the H1N1 virus and will be isolated from the rest of the team.

Krejci has not missed a game this season, but the Bruins said Thursday he will be kept away from the team until he is symptom-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 Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli in a statement. "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."

Krejci has a goal and four assists for five points this season. He set career bests last season with 22 goals and 73 points. His 51 assists ranked second on the club and he led the NHL with a rating of plus-37.
