St. Louis Blues defenseman Torey Krug (ankle) has been ruled out for the 2024-25 NHL season. The team announced last month that Krug had been diagnosed with pre-arthritic changes in his left ankle and would try to rehabilitate the injury without surgery. However, in the end, Krug is forced to have surgery to get the issue fixed, and as a result, he will not be able to play in the upcoming campaign. The 33-year-old has endured a couple of rough seasons, amassing a minus-57 rating across the past two years. But he's had a solid career with the Blues and Boston Bruins, posting 483 points (89 points, 394 assists) in 778 outings. Newly acquired Philip Broberg could land an important role on the blue line with Krug on the shelf.
St. Louis Blues defenseman Torey Krug made history in Sunday's 7-2 win over Montreal by setting new franchise records for points and assists in a game by a blue-liner. He had five helpers during the game, with two coming in power-play situations. Krug also set a new personal record with the five-point effort. The huge performance came out of the blue, as Krug had tallied only three points in his previous 14 appearances. 17 of his 25 points came in November and December, but Sunday could be a sign that Krug will heat up again.
Torey Krug Logs Over 24 Minutes In Preseason Debut
St. Louis Blues defenseman Torey Krug made his first preseason appearance Monday against Columbus and showed he's fully healed from a right foot injury suffered in training camp by logging a game-high 24:29 of ice time. His performance overall could've been better, though, as Krug finished a 5-3 loss with a minus-three rating. The 32-year-old saw 4:18 of action with the man advantage and notched one power-play assist. Krug was paired with Justin Faulk, who returned from a lower-body injury Monday. The two play a big role for St. Louis at the back and must stay healthy for the team to have a chance of being competitive.
St. Louis Blues defenseman Torey Krug (foot) expects to be ready for his team's season opener on Oct. 12 against the Dallas Stars. The Blues had announced that Krug suffered a right foot injury on Sept. 13, only stating he would be reevaluated on Oct. 1. "I'll be ready", Krug said on Tuesday, music to the ears of Blues fans as the tight-lipped nature of the original announcement seemed to suggest it could be a long-term ailment. The 12-year veteran registered seven goals and 32 points across 63 games last season, his third with the Blues. Krug has notched at least 51 points on three separate occasions but an inability to stay healthy has hurt his fantasy stock in recent seasons.
St. Louis Blues defenseman Torey Krug has injured his right foot while training ahead of the upcoming NHL season, general manager Doug Armstrong announced on Tuesday. The team is set to re-evaluate Krug on Oct. 1. The Blues start the 2023-24 campaign on Oct. 12. It appears that Krug still has a chance to play on opening night, but the situation is clearly far from ideal for the Blues, with the 32-year-old set to miss the start of training camp at minimum. Once he's cleared to play, Krug will hope to produce a bounce-back season after being limited to 32 points (seven goals, 25 assists) in 63 games last term and finishing with a minus-26 rating.
St. Louis Blues defenseman Torey Krug (personal) will jump back into the lineup Saturday against Anaheim. He sat out Thursday's trip to Detroit after becoming a father for a third time, but Krug has now rejoined the team. The 31-year-old will link up with Robert Bortuzzo on the third defensive pairing and skate with the first power-play unit. 14 of Krug's 28 points have come with the man advantage this season. With the Ducks having the third-worst penalty kill in the league, Krug has a good chance to enjoy a productive return.
St. Louis Blues defenseman Torey Krug (personal) hasn't traveled with the team to face Detroit on Thursday. He has just become a father and will stay with his family. However, Krug is expected to link up with the team later in the week on the West Coast for games against Anaheim and Los Angeles. Calle Rosen will be filling in for Krug on Thursday, while Justin Faulk should take over his spot on the first power-play unit.
St. Louis Blues defenseman Torey Krug (lower body) missed Wednesday's practice and likely won't play Thursday against the Canucks. He's had trouble staying healthy all season and sustained a lower-body injury in Tuesday's 4-1 defeat to Carolina. According to St. Louis head coach Craig Berube, Krug has reaggravated a previous injury. With Krug missing, Marco Scandella joined Justin Faulk on the second defensive pairing in practice. Faulk is set for first power-play duty Thursday, with Nick Leddy and Colton Parayko on the second unit.
St. Louis Blues defenseman Torey Krug couldn't finish Tuesday's matchup against Carolina as his bad luck with injuries continued. The 31-year-old left this time with a lower-body problem after logging 14:17 of action. Krug has already missed 17 games this season and could now face another stint on the shelf, although the severity of his newest issue is unclear at present. Marco Scandella made his season debut Tuesday and could be asked to fill a bigger role right away, while Justin Faulk should head to the first power-play unit if Krug is out Thursday versus Vancouver.
St. Louis Blues defenseman Torey Krug (undisclosed) is regarded as questionable for Saturday's clash with the Avalanche. He's been very injury-prove throughout the season and is reportedly dealing with an issue that isn't related to the lower-body injury he sustained in Tuesday's game against Florida. Krug has managed to play only seven games since his most recent injury layoff. Robert Bortuzzo is set to rejoin the lineup on Saturday if Krug isn't healthy enough to suit up Saturday and Justin Faulk would be taking over duties on the first power-play unit.
St. Louis Blues defenseman Torey Krug (lower body) is considered questionable for Thursday's game against New Jersey. He was injured Tuesday versus Florida and could now miss his 17th game of the season. When healthy, Krug has done a decent job on the offensive end with 22 points in 37 games, but he has also amassed a minus-26 rating for the season, which is one of the worst in the entire league. Justin Faulk is set to be promoted to the first power-play unit if Krug can't play and Robert Bortuzzo is the likeliest candidate to take his place in the lineup.
St. Louis Blues defenseman Torey Krug suffered an upper-body injury in Tuesday's 6-2 win over Florida. He logged 7:58 on the ice and had a power-play assist before having to end his night early. Krug will be re-evaluated on Wednesday, and he will be desperate to avoid another injury layoff after already missing 16 games this season. The 31-year-old had an awful start to the season, but he has greatly improved in the last couple of months and sits on 22 points with 37 games played.
St. Louis Blues defenseman Torey Krug logged a power-play assist in Monday's 4-2 defeat to Winnipeg, making it four points in four games since returning to action from a lower-body injury. He combined with goalie Jordan Binnington to help Jake Neighbours light the lamp 14:36 into the second period. Krug had two tries on the net himself and registered four blocks in 16:54 of ice time. Offensively, Krug was productive again, but he finished with an ugly minus-three rating and can't be completely happy about how things went. Krug has recorded five goals and 21 points in 35 games overall for the season but also has a minus-26 rating, which is among the worst in the league.
St. Louis Blues defenseman Torey Krug (lower body) is set to re-enter the lineup Tuesday against the Sabres. He will be back in action after missing the last 13 games with a lower-body injury. Krug has struggled for most of the campaign, but he had started to turn his season around before getting hurt and has a chance to get to a five-game point streak on Tuesday. Krug has managed five goals and 12 assists in 31 games. He will go on the third defensive pairing and the first power-play unit.
St. Louis Blues defenseman Torey Krug (lower body) was placed on long-term Injured Reserve Tuesday, with the team set to re-evaluate him in six weeks' time. 2022-23 has been a rough campaign for Krug and the latest injury is a fresh blow for him. He had only just started to gain momentum as well, posting a four-game point streak. He has tallied 17 points overall for the campaign in 31 games with 65 shots, 27 hits, 43 blocks and a minus-20 rating. Tyler Tucker has been summoned from the AHL to provide cover at the back, while Calle Rosen is set to replace Krug in the lineup Tuesday versus Toronto.
St. Louis Blues defenseman Torey Krug (upper body) will miss a second consecutive game Thursday versus Winnipeg. Head coach Craig Berube has suggested that Krug still needs a couple of practices before being ready to play again. 2022-23 hasn't been a kind campaign for Krug, with him owning a league-worst minus-22 rating despite getting 11 points in 24 games. His next chance to return comes on Saturday against Colorado. Until then, Calle Rosen will skate with Justin Faulk. The Swedish blue-liner has featured in only 16 games this season, but he has managed to tally a team-best plus-10 rating while posting five points in limited playing time.
St. Louis Blues defenseman Torey Krug (upper body) will return from a brief stint on the sidelines Wednesday. He will face the Sabres after sitting out one game with a minor upper-body problem. The 31-year-old has just started to heat up, posting goals in both of his previous two appearances. Krug boasts four goals in total for the year and has also registered four assists in 17 games with 31 shots and 21 blocks. He has disappointed with his production so far this season, but the Blues have barely recovered from a poor start and the rest of the way should be much more fruitful for Krug. Fellow blue-liner Robert Bortuzzo (upper body) also appears set to rejoin the lineup Wednesday after being activated from Injured Reserve.
St. Louis Blues defenseman Torey Krug (lower body) won't play in Friday's Game 6 against Colorado and will also miss a potential Game 7. He has been out of the lineup since Game 3 of the first round and it appears that Krug isn't even close to returning to action, although he has been back skating. Krug had a nice regular season with 43 points in 64 games, and he opened the postseason with a huge three-assist effort before getting injured soon after. Nick Leddy has turned out to be St. Louis' most prolific blue-liner in the playoffs with six points in eight games.
St. Louis Blues defenseman Torey Krug (lower body) won't be in the lineup Sunday against Minnesota and is set to be "out a bit", according to head coach Craig Berube. The 31-year-old managed to skate just 3:10 in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Wild and will sadly face another spell on the sidelines after already missing 18 regular-season games. Berube will be happy that there was at least some good news as well on Saturday as both Robert Bortuzzo (upper body) and Nick Leddy (upper body) were on the ice for practice. Looks like they are set to re-enter the lineup on Sunday.
St. Louis Blues defenseman Torey Krug picked up a lower-body injury in Friday's Game 3 against Minnesota. He was knocked out of the game after only six shifts when he limped to the locker room following a hit on Minnesota winger Matt Boldy. The Blues will evaluate Krug on Saturday to determine his status for Sunday's Game 4. Everybody on the team will have their fingers crossed, as the Blues blue line has already taken a beating in the playoffs, with Robert Bortuzzo (upper body) and Nick Leddy (upper body) sitting out Game 3. Krug opened the postseason with a superb three-assist performance in Game 1, but he hasn't been able to add any further points to his tally since then.
