EDGE Analysis
Krug collected the secondary helper on Zach Sanford's tally in the first period. The 29-year-old Krug had gone without a point in his last two outings, but he put that mini-slump to rest. Through 15 games, the Michigan native is up to nine points, a plus-13 rating, 31 shots on net and 21 blocked shots this year. Krug has ceded first-unit power-play duties to Justin Faulk, which slightly lowers the former's ceiling for scoring production.

Krug scored a power-play goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Krug's struggled to begin his first year in St. Louis, but he tallied at 13:12 of the first period Saturday to open the scoring. It's his first goal and second point with the Blues since he signed a seven-year contract during the offseason. In 2019-20, 28 of Krug's 49 points came on the power play -- he's a maestro from the blue line when it comes to production with the man advantage. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried about the 29-year-old's slow start, as he's still adjusting to a new team situation.

Krug finished a minus-1 rating, four shots on net and three hits through his first two games with the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Krug hasn't broken through offensively yet, but head coach Craig Berube has immediately deployed him on the top pairing, as he played more than 22 minutes in each of the first two games. The 29-year-old quarterbacks the first power-play unit as well, so the points should start flowing considering the wealth of talent surrounding him on the unit, including Mike Hoffman and Ryan O'Reilly.

Krug signed a seven-year contract worth $6.5 million AAV with the Blues on Friday, Pierre LeBrun of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
This all but ensures that Alex Pietrangelo won't be back in St. Louis next season. Krug is an excellent replacement, however, as he's a two-way blueliner that has produced 40 assists in each of the last five seasons. The 29-year-old can also run an effective power play and generated two goals and 26 assists on the man advantage over 61 games last season. To top it off, he's a strong defender and can handle top-pairing minutes if necessary. Krug will be instrumental in for another Stanley Cup run in St. Louis.

Krug (upper body) is fully recovered from the injury that cost him a single game prior to the league hiatus in mid-March, NBC Sports Boston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Krug's 49 points pace the Bruins defense corps and rank eighth among all league blueliners. Even with 12 games remaining on the docket should play resume, the 29-year-old wouldn't quite have reached the lofty heights of his 59-point, career-best output from 2017-18. However, Krug has proven he's a near-lock for 50-plus points in five straight seasons and is due for a hefty raise heading into unrestricted free agency this summer. Potential suitors could question if he'd be quite as prolific a producer away from the B's high-powered offense, but Krug will still be a highly coveted asset that commands a deal well north of his current $5.25 million cap hit.

Krug (upper body) won't play Tuesday night against the Flyers, Joe Haggerty of NBC Sports Boston reports.
EDGE Analysis
The same applies to fellow blueliner Brandon Carlo, which sets the stage for Connor Clifton to re-enter the Bruins' lineup. For now, we'll consider Krug day-to-day, with his looming absence representing a blow to the team's top power-play unit.
