Torey Krug has been playing with confidence in the postseason and that should keep him in the lineup when Round 3 begins on Saturday. "The more the coaching staff puts you on the ice, the better it feels. It's a great feeling to get patted on the back," Krug said. "I have to do things like (score) if I want to stick around. If I'm not going to make an impact in the offensive zone, they'll find a bigger guy to do the other stuff." Krug produced four goals, including three on the power play, and added one assist in five contests versus the Rangers in Round 2. He has practiced as a fixture alongside Adam McQuaid on the team's third defense pairing since the series ended, which suggests he will stay there when the Eastern Conference Finals starts.
