Krug (ankle) will suit up against the Red Wings on Wednesday, Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Krug will have two chances to ditch any offseason rust before the season kicks off Oct. 3 against Washington. The blueliner has put up 20-plus power-play points in back-to-back seasons and should be able to reach that threshold for a third consecutive year.

Krug (ankle) will skate Tuesday with the goal of playing against the Red Wings on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Krug continues to work his way back from a fractured ankle suffered at the end of last season. The primary objective for the team will be to get him ready for Opening Night -- hence the cautious approach to putting him into the lineup. While he won't play Monday against the Flyers, he could still get two tuneup games if he plays Wednesday and Saturday versus Detroit and Philadelphia respectively.

Krug (ankle) took contact in practice Thursday, as he's said to be making "big strides" in an effort to try and draw into preseason contests, Joe Haggerty of NBC Sports Boston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Krug is on track to be ready for Opening Night, with his ability to withstand contact being a major milestone in his recovery. The Michigan native has recorded 40, 43 and 45 points, respectively, over the last three seasons with the Bruins.

Krug (ankle) skated Monday morning and his goal is to be ready for the first day of the regular season, Joe McDonald of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Krug still has a ways to go in returning from his broken ankle, but being able to skate is a good sign. His health is important for the Bruins and for fantasy owners, as the defenseman has notched over 50 points the past two seasons. Keep an eye on how he progresses in the upcoming weeks, but right now it sounds like he might be ready Opening Night.

Krug will get a late start to training camp, as he's rounding out his recovery from a fractured ankle, Conor Ryan of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The talented puck-moving defenseman had hopes of being fully recovered in time for training camp, and while he still might draw into a preseason game later this month, his arrival in camp will at least be delayed. Krug tied a career high in goals (14) and achieved a career-best 45 helpers through 76 games last season. The Michigan native is a perennial power-play producer with two years remaining on his contract with a $5.25 million annual cap hit.

Krug (ankle) is expected to be fully recovered once main camp begins September 10th, Matt Porter of The Boston Globe reports

EDGE Analysis

Krug posted a career-high 59 points in 2017-18, adding 12 more in 11 playoff contests before suffering a serious ankle injury. Now fully recovered, Krug will have an entire training camp to get back into game shape and pick up where he left off a season ago. An effective puck mover and backend point producer, he will be a highly sought-after commodity in 2018-19 fantasy leagues.

Krug, who sustained a fractured left ankle in Game 4 of the Bruins' second-round series against the Lightning, won't need surgery but will be in a walking boot for two months, Matt Kalman of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Given that timetable, the 27-year-old blueliner should be healed up in advance of next season's training camp. Krug, who is under contract with the Bruins through the 2019-20 campaign, is coming off a regular season in which he logged a fantasy-friendly 14 goals and 59 points in 76 games. He'll reprise his key power-play role next season, which assures that the mobile 5-foot-9, 186-pounder will remain one of the more bankable fantasy options at his position.

Krug (left ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of the Bruins' second-round playoff series against the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Krug will undergo additional testing to determine the extent of the injury he sustained in Friday's Game 4 loss, but at first glance it looked fairly serious. It will be impossible to fully replace Krug's mobility and up-tempo game, but youngsters Charlie McAvoy and Matt Grzelcyk have the skating ability and puck skills to help fill the void to a certain degree. Meanwhile, Nick Holden will join the Bruins' lineup Sunday in Tampa Bay and play on defensive pairing with Adam McQuaid.

Krug (lower body) won't be in the lineup for Sunday's Game 5 against Tampa Bay, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic Boston reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is a huge blow to Boston's chances of staving off elimination by picking up a road victory Sunday, as Krug has been one of the Bruins' best players this postseason, racking up three goals and 12 points in 11 contests. With Krug unavailable, Nick Holden or Paul Postma will likely be inserted into the lineup for a must-win Game 5.

Krug's injury -- as sustained in Game 4 against the Lightning on Friday -- concerns his lower body and he'll be reevaluated Saturday morning, Bryan Burns of the Lightning's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Krug was helped off the ice by trainers and ended up in a wheelchair after he violently crashed feet first into the end boards during the third period. The Bruins can ill-afford to lose the playmaking defenseman, especially now that the team is down 3-1 in the series.
