Although he is only 5'9", Bruins' rookie defenseman Torey Krug should not be underestimated physically.
He tossed 6'7" Brian Boyle into the net during Thursday's overtime win against the Rangers and did not back down from any of the larger New York players. "He's a strong, stocky little kid," said teammate Matt Bartkowski. "He's got a good frame and a good base and he's strong for his size, so it really doesn't surprise me that he's able to stand in there and toss (Rangers forward Brian) Boyle into the net". Krug is a strong offensive player so the fact he can take of himself on the ice as well makes him a potential fantasy asset going forward.
