Krug tallied a goal and an assist in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
The Wild were frantically trying to tie up the game late in the third period after pulling netminder Marc-Andre Fleury but Krug shot the puck 195 feet from behind his goal line to put the game for good. Krug added an assist on the power play in the second period, one shot on goal and one hit in 24:46 of ice time. In his last 10 games, the 32-year old defenseman has produced two goals, 10 assists, 13 blocked shots and 15 shots on goal. The Blues are currently in the playoff hunt, and Krug's offensive contributions could become even more valuable as the season progresses.

Krug logged a power-play assist, two shots on goal and four blocked shots in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Krug had gone without a point in the last three games, but he snapped the mini-slump quickly by setting up Robert Thomas' tally early in the first period. Krug has a goal and nine helpers over 10 outings in February, which is great progress after a lackluster first half of the campaign. He's up to 30 points (10 on the power play), 126 shots on net, 79 blocked shots and a minus-23 rating over 59 contests overall.

Krug scored and added an assist in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
This was just Krug's second goal of the season. It wouldn't be fair to say the 32-year-old defender has lost his offensive gifts, but the goals haven't quite been there this season. Part of that is a lack of power-play goals. He's still part of the team's top unit, but he hasn't yet scored on the man advantage. In years past, he's added as many as six goals and 30 points on the power play. Even last year, in a relatively down season for offensive production, Krug had four goals and 14 points on the power play through 63 games. This year, through 53 contests, he has just eight power-play assists and no goals.
