Krug put up an assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Krug missed three games with an upper-body injury. He covered 17:02 of ice time in his return, though he could see a larger role going forward after Marco Scandella (lower body) left Tuesday's contest in the third period. with 41 points (19 on the power play), 118 shots on net, 70 blocked shots and a plus-23 rating in 63 outings, Krug should be a boost to fantasy managers who choose to activate him for Friday's regular-season finale against the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis
Krug sat out the previous three contests with the injury, but he'll return in time for a couple tune-up games before the start of the playoffs. The 31-year-old's 40 points and plus-23 rating have made him a valuable fantasy asset on virtual blue lines in 2021-22.

Krug (upper body) won't play Saturday against Arizona, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
When asked about Krug's status, coach Craig Berube told reporters "I don't think it makes sense to put him in there tonight the way he is right now. I think he's going to be fine, but again, I don't want to risk a long-term injury." Based on Berube's comments, at this point it wouldn't be surprising to see the Blues hold Krug out until the playoffs get underway.

Krug (upper body) will travel with the team and is expected to play in Tuesday's matchup with Boston, Jim Thomas of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sidelined for the past 10 games with an upper-body injury, Krug's availability against the Bruins seems increasingly realistic following the team's practice Monday. The 30-year-old defenseman rejoins the roster amidst a five-game win streak, and he looks to improve upon somewhat of a statistically modest year. Tallying 35 points, 44 hits and 59 blocked shots in 57 games, the Michigan native has still experienced relative success given the reduction in playing time from last year (20:52).
