Per coach Bruce Cassidy, "there's a chance" Krug (ankle) will play Saturday against Montreal.

EDGE Analysis

Krug has missed the first 10 games of the campaign while working his way back from an ankle injury he suffered during the Bruins' preseason finale, but his recovery is clearly trending in the right direction. If he's ultimately unable to go against the Canadiens, he should have a great shot at making his season debut Tuesday against the Hurricanes.

Krug (ankle) won't play Thursday against Philadelphia and is a "stretch" for Saturday's clash with Montreal, according to coach Bruce Cassidy.

EDGE Analysis

Krug appears to be headed toward an Oct. 30 return against the Hurricanes, barring a drastic improvement prior to Saturday's tilt. Once the Michigan native is given the green light to suit up, emergency recall Jeremy Lauzon will be bound for AHL Providence in order to make room on the 23-man roster.

Krug (ankle) continues to skate and remains on schedule in his recovery, according to Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy.

EDGE Analysis

There's a chance that Krug will return next Tuesday for a road game against the Hurricanes. A pro tip in fantasy is to keep tabs on Boston's travel schedule -- if the defenseman ultimately doesn't make the trip to Raleigh, then he'd obviously be ruled out for the team's final contest in October. Krug has yet to make his season debut after sustaining the injury during the preseason.

Krug (ankle) is progressing well and could resume skating this week.

EDGE Analysis

Krug won't travel with the Bruins on their upcoming four-game road trip, which effectively rules him out through the team's Oct. 23 tilt in Ottawa. Krug's absence has created added opportunities for teammate Matt Grzelcyk, who has done a respectable job filling in. That said, when healthy Krug is a dynamic puck-mover whose power-play prowess gives him plenty of fantasy utility.

Krug (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Amalie Benjamin of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Considering Krug is expected to be in a walking boot for at least three weeks before he can resume skating, it shouldn't come as a surprise to see the club designated him for IR. The veteran's injury will open the door for Urho Vaakanainen to earn some significant ice time for the start of the 2018-19 campaign.

Krug's left ankle injury will keep him in a walking boot for the next three weeks, Joe Haggerty of NBC Sports Boston reports.

EDGE Analysis

GM Don Sweeney relayed that Krug's current issue isn't related to the injury that ended his playoff run last season, but it is affecting the same foot. With Krug set to miss time, Matt Grzelcyk (lower body) figures to see added opportunities out of the gate, while rookie Urho Vaakanainen could now end up making the Bruins' final roster in advance of Wednesday's season opener.

Krug (lower body) was not spotted at practice Monday, Matt Porter of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

We'll consider Krug day-to-day until the Bruins update his status, but if he's unable to play in Wednesday's season opener against the Capitals, Urho Vaakanainen could stick around with the big club, considering that Matt Grzelcyk (lower body) is also currently banged up.

Krug (lower body) was spotted in a walking boot following Saturday's game, reports Joe McDonald of The Athletic. He had left Saturday's game with an injury.

EDGE Analysis

McDonald also tweeted that Krug was spotted limping after Friday's practice, leading to speculation that he may have returned too soon from a broken ankle. Fantasy owners need to look at risk-reward with Krug, especially if that boot stays on the foot for long.

Krug suffered a lower-body injury Saturday against the Flyers and did not return to the game.

EDGE Analysis

When a player like Krug gets hurt, fantasy owners worry. The defenseman is coming off a season where he had 59 points, including 24 on the power play. The hope is that this was precautionary, this was the final game of the preseason, but for now the 27-year-old is day-to-day, and could possibly miss Boston's opener Wednesday.

In his return from an ankle injury, Krug logged 20:12 worth of ice time in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Krug, who saw 4:09 worth of power play time in the contest, "had his struggles with the puck" in his return to action Wednesday, per Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald. A little rust after a long layoff is nothing unusual, however, and assuming no setbacks, the B's puck-moving stalwart has time to sharpen up his game in advance of the team's Oct. 3 regular-season opener.
