Krug stretched his point streak to seven games and nine points with an assist in Saturday's 4-1 loss to Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

Krug also took a beating from the fast and aggressive Buds, who landed hit after hit on the diminutive defender. He kept bouncing back up, but this kind of physical abuse could eventually take a toll.

Krug recorded two assists in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

The undersized defenseman has a goal and five points in his last three games. While it's unreasonable to expect him to continue producing at that rate, he's a gifted puck-moving defenseman who has considerable value in all formats.

Krug recorded two assists, two shots and a plus-2 rating through 18:29 of ice time during Thursday's 2-1 win over Vegas.

EDGE Analysis

It's been a respectable start to the season for Krug, as he has two goals and three assists through 10 games. However, it's worth noting his ice time is down from the 21:36 per game he averaged over the previous two years. Krug projects to continue quarterbacking the No. 1 power-play unit, and he did miss time to start the campaign, so it's probably best to remain patient with the established fantasy asset.

Krug drove in a one-timer Monday, but it wasn't enough as the Bruins lost to the Blue Jackets on the road, 4-3 in the shootout.

EDGE Analysis

This was the second goal of the season for Krug, who's otherwise been struggling on both ends of the ice. The Michigan native, who sustained a broken jaw in preseason but only missed the season opener, entered this latest contest with just two goals, an assist and minus-3 rating through 10 games.

Krug (jaw) was activated from injured reserve and is eligible to play Monday against Colorado.

EDGE Analysis

The team had already given positive indications that puck-moving blueliner would be ready for Monday's game, in addition to Krug's full-participation in practice since Saturday. While no official word has been given that Krug will be in Monday's lineup, rookie defender Matt Grzelcyk was reassigned to AHL Providence in a corresponding move -- all but confirming Krug's return Monday.

Krug (jaw) is considered a game-time decision for Monday's game against the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Though the mobile blueliner's official status for the contest may not be confirmed until line rushes, it looks like he will suit up, with coach Bruce Cassidy indicating Sunday that he assumes Krug "will be good" to go Monday. In such a scenario, Matt Grzelcyk is likely to be the odd man out of the B's back line mix.

Krug (face) was on the ice without a non-contact jersey Saturday morning.

EDGE Analysis

Full participation in the a.m. skate suggests that the puck-moving blueliner's return is imminent, but the original timeline for his return was set for Monday's game at home against the Avalanche. As soon it's officially announced that Krug will return, fantasy owners will be rushing to get him back into lineups as he's a terrific playmaker -- he notched eight goals and 43 assists in 81 games last regular season.

Krug (face) is hoping to receive clearance for Monday's game against Colorado when he meets with doctors Friday, Joe Haggerty of NBC Sports Boston reports.

EDGE Analysis

The mobile blueliner suffered the injury during a preseason contest on Sep. 21 and has been a non-contact participant in practice since Saturday. As Haggerty notes in his report, Krug's inclusion in Monday's tilt would be a "best-case scenario," so until he gets official word, expect rookie Matt Grzelcyk to continue in his place.

Krug (face) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Krug wasn't going to be available until at least Oct. 14 against the Coyotes, so it makes sense that the Bruins freed up space on the 23-man roster until then. The 26-year-old posted 51 points last season, including 25 on the power play, so a quick return would prove helpful to Boston's blue line.

Krug (face) took part in practice Tuesday, albeit in a non-contact sweater, Fluto Shinzawa of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Krug's initial recovery timeline was set a three weeks, which would keep him out until Oct. 14 against the Coyotes. The blueliner continues to make progress in the right direction, but with 23-man rosters due at close of business Tuesday, he could land on injured reserve to start the year.
