Krug scored a goal and added two assists in Saturday's 6-3 win over Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

It was a big night for the little defender, who has a remarkable 15 points in just 18 games this season. Krug remains an elite fantasy defender as long as he's healthy.

Krug picked up two assists during a 4-2 loss to the Maple Leafs on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

That makes points in three straight games for Krug who has been collecting points since his return from injury in late October. He now has 10 points in 13 games while averaging 22:41 in time on ice.

Krug assisted on the overtime winner on Monday as the Bruins topped the Penguins 2-1.

EDGE Analysis

After scoring six points in his first six games after his return from injury, Krug had gone quiet for four straight before Friday's assist. As the Bruins continue to suffer through injuries on defense Krug has had to focus more on the defensive side of the puck, so his offense may take a hit until more B's defenders come off injured reserve.

Krug uncharacteristically led his team with five blocked shots as the Bruins fell to the Avalanche 6-3 on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

After Zdeno Chara suffered an injury during Wednesday's game, Krug became the Bruins' number one defender as they attempted to stave off a ruthless Avalanche offense. Krug tied his career high in blocked shots, a feat he has done three previous times with the last one coming in a March 20, 2017 loss to the Maple Leafs. The Minnesota native will see a considerable bump in ice time for the next few games due to the depleted Bruins' blueline.

Krug matched-up against Darren Archibald for his eight career fight during the waning minutes of an 8-5 loss to the Canucks on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

With only a little over two minutes left in the game on Thursday Krug collected 17 minutes in penalties by collecting a fighting major, an instigating minor, and a game misconduct. During the course of the game, Krug assisted on two of the Bruins goals, including one on the power play, as he improved to four points total in four games on the season.

Krug collected a secondary assist on the overtime game-winner during Monday's 2-1 victory over the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Krug has already collected two assists in three games since his return on Oct. 30, with both coming on the power play. Last season the Minnesota native posted career-highs in assists (45) and points (59) and should put up similar numbers again working on the top power play with the Bruins' first line.

Krug picked up an assist in his 2018-19 debut against the Hurricanes on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Krug was limited to just 18:13 of ice time -- over two minutes lower than his 2017-18 numbers (20:24) -- but included 6:12 with the man advantage. The blueliner should see his minutes climb in the coming days as he continues to work his way back up to in-season form.

Krug (ankle) has officially been activated from injured reserve, per the NHL's official media site. Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy confirmed the defenseman will be making his season debut against the Hurricanes on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Krug is projected to skate on the second defensive pair with John Moore, which is a role that comes with power-play time for the former. Krug needs to be activated in all fantasy formats after tying a career-high 14 goals and setting a personal best in the points column with 59 during the 2017-18 campaign.

Krug (ankle) will likely be activated from injured reserve for Tuesday's game versus the Hurricanes, Matt Porter of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

This notion was affirmed by the Bruins assigning Jeremy Lauzon, who was one of six healthy defensemen, to AHL Providence. Krug is looking to make his season debut, and he'll likely log time in the top four and power play, where he accumulated 24 of his 59 points last season.

Krug (ankle) is close to returning, but it won't happen Saturday against the Canadiens, per Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy.

EDGE Analysis

Cassidy specifically told reporters that Krug is "out tonight, looking good for Tuesday." The talented puck-moving defenseman remains on injured reserve for the time being.
