Krug scored a shorthanded goal on four shots, dished a power-play assist and blocked three shots in Wednesday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Krug had a helper on Brayden Schenn's opening tally in the second period, but it was the defenseman's goal at 19:51 of the third period that allowed the Blues to force overtime. The 30-year-old Krug has scored in each of the last two games, and he's up to eight points, 19 shots on net and a plus-4 rating through eight appearances. After a disappointing first year with the Blues last season, this is a good start to a bounce-back campaign for the star defenseman.

That assist was Krug's first point of the year -- he's added four PIM, a plus-1 rating and three shots on net through two contests.
