Krug (undisclosed) didn't participate in Monday's morning skate and is a game-time decision for the evening's game against the Avalanche, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Blues could ill-afford to have Krug sit out considering Vince Dunn and Colton Parayko have both been ruled out with upper-body injuries. Even if Krug plays, St. Louis' defensive depth will be tested against an Avalanche team that will be out for revenge after Saturday's loss.

Krug recorded an assist in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Krug picked up the secondary assist on Sammy Blais' tally in the first period. The helper put Krug at the 20-poing mark, which took him 39 games to achieve this season. His offense in 2020-21 hasn't been at the level he showed over his last four years as a Bruin, but it's still been solid production from the blue line. Krug has added 86 shots on net, 45 blocked shots and 23 PIM this year.
