Krug will not return to Saturday's game against the Sabres due to an undisclosed injury, Joe Haggerty of CSN New England reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's not clear what type of injury Krug is dealing with, but he left Saturday's game in the first period and did not return. Expect an update on his status as more details become available.

Krug has missed the scoresheet in four consecutive games entering Tuesday's action, marking just the second time this year he's experienced a slump of that length.

EDGE Analysis

That said, the skilled young blueliner has unleashed 16 shots on goal in that four-game span, a fine rate that deserves a better reward than no points and a minus-1 rating. He's a good bet to get it together soon, with Tuesday's home draw against St. Louis providing his next opportunity. However, we're still waiting to see Krug exceed the approximately point-every-other-game pace he's put up over the course of his young NHL career. He's got the upside to be better than that and is skating career-high minutes, but his lack of size at 5-foot-9 can make the Bruins loathe to roll him out in defensive situations.

Krug assisted on the game-opening goal in the first period and the game-tying goal on a third-period power play Friday against the Rangers. He finished plus-2 with three shots, three hits and three blocks.

EDGE Analysis

Krug had missed the scoresheet in three straight games -- bizarrely, he'd fired six shots on net in two of those and zero in the other. The highly skilled blueliner is still stuck on one goal for the year, but he's shown plenty of willingness to fire the puck and is on pace to exceed his career high of 40 points anyway.

Krug (undisclosed) will play Thursday against the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Krug missed practice both Tuesday and Wednesday in what were termed "maintenance days," but he's indeed in the lineup for the contest. He'll pair with Adam McQuaid for the contest.

Krug (unspecified issue) will be a game-time decision for Thursday's game against the Avs, NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Krug's absences from practice both Tuesday and Wednesday were portrayed by the B's as maintenance days, but his status for Thursday's game has yet to be cemented. With that in mind, GM Don Sweeney relayed that the blueliner -- who participated in Thursday's morning skate -- is "just dealing with something small."

Krug (rest) was back on the ice at the Thursday morning skate, DJ Bean of WEEI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is a positive sign after Krug curiously received two consecutive "maintenance days" leading up to Thursday's skate. His official status for Thursday's game against the visiting Avalanche has yet to be determined, but we believe the team will announce his availability ahead of the opening faceoff.

Krug received another maintenance day Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

While there's been no injury reported here, Krug's status for Thursday's game against the Avs is now worth confirming, given that the blueliner has had two straight "maintenance days."

Krug had two assists -- one on the power play -- in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Krug has yet to score a goal this season, but remains among the top point-producing defensemen in the NHL. He has been particularly lethal on the PP; six of his 10 assists this season have come on the man advantage. Krug also had four shots and played a team-high 26:06.

Krug assisted a Brad Marchand goal in Friday night's 3-1 win over the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Krug's pass actually appeared to be more of a shot attempt, as he telegraphed the puck directly at the net, and Marchand squared up in front of Florida goalie Roberto Luongo to tuck it in for the score. Nonetheless, that gives Krug eight helpers on the year, putting him at a tie with John Carlson of the Capitals for the second highest assist output among blueliners with four more defensemen currently at 10 helpers.

Krug picked up two assists and fired five shots on goal in Saturday's win over Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

Krug now has six assists in five games to start the season. The 24-year-old is averaging 23:08 of ice time and has fired 16 shots on goal thus far. Having put up 40 points in 2013-14 and 39 points last season, Krug is becoming a reliable source of production on the blueline. Krug has taken on a larger offensive role with the departure of Dougie Hamilton and has already racked up five helpers with the man advantage. Keep him rolling.
