The assignment of Brad Marchand and Zach Hamill signals that David Krejci, who had offseason hip surgery, is likely ready for game action. Fluto Shinzawa of The Boston Globe is reporting that Krejci is probable for Thursday night's season opener versus the Washington Capitals at the TD Garden. Krejci skated on his familiar line with Blake Wheeler and Michael Ryder during today's practice. Krejci's return to the lineup is great news provided that he is fully healed and ready to play at 100%.
