BOSTON (CBS) -- It looks like David Krejci will make his long-awaited return Thursday night against Anaheim.

Krejci hit the ice with his Bruins teammates for Thursday's morning skate, and head coach Claude Julien deemed him "probable" for their game against the Ducks.

The Bruins and Krejci will make a final decision after the forward participates in the team's final warmup prior to Thursday night's game.

"If I feel good enough to help the team, I'll be in," Krejci told reporters Thursday morning.

If he's good to go, it looks like the B's top-line center will play wing alongside Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand.

"I'm excited. It's something new," he said. "I'm excited to play with Bergy and Marchy. It should be fun and I'm looking forward to it."

Krejci missed the last 15 games after suffering a partially torn MCL in his left knee on February 20. He has played in just 38 games this season due to injury, recording seven goals and 19 assists for Boston.
