  • Blues' Torey Krug: Shifts to LTIR

    Krug (ankle) was moved to long-term injured reserve Tuesday, per PuckPedia.

    After having ankle surgery in September to address pre-arthritic changes, Krug won't play during the 2024-25 campaign. Moving him to LTIR allows the Blues to exceed the salary cap by $6.03 million, according to PuckPedia. In Krug's absence, Justin Faulk will have increased roles this season, including more power-play time.

  • Blues' Torey Krug: Lands on non-roster list

    Krug (ankle) was placed on the injured non-roster list Monday.

    Krug won't play in the 2024-25 campaign. He had ankle surgery in September to address pre-arthritic changes. The 33-year-old rearguard supplied four goals, 39 points, 162 shots on net and 111 blocked shots across 77 contests during the 2023-24 regular season. In Krug's absence, Justin Faulk and newcomer Philip Broberg will have increased roles in 2024-25, including more power-play time.

  • Blues' Torey Krug: Won't play this season

    Krug is set for ankle surgery to address pre-arthritic problems and will miss the entire 2024-25 campaign, the team announced Tuesday.

    Krug's ankle problem was originally announced back in July with a 6-8 week recovery timeline, but it seems the issue couldn't be addressed without surgical intervention. The team may have had an idea that this was coming, considering they pried Philip Broberg from the Oilers with an offer sheet while also signing free agents Pierre-Olivier Joseph and Ryan Suter to one-year deals. With Krug, who figures to land on long-term injured reserve, out of action, Scott Perunovich could see the biggest uptick in ice time.

  • Blues' Torey Krug: Dealing with ankle injury

    Krug was diagnosed with pre-arthritic changes in his left ankle and will be evaluated in 6-8 weeks.

    That timeline puts Krug's next check-up at just before training camp. If his ankle gets worse, surgery is on the table, which would cost him the entire 2024-25 campaign. As is, it's likely the defenseman misses at least some time early in the season since his offseason ramp-up will be disrupted. If Krug misses the year, it could lead to a full-time role for Pierre-Olivier Joseph on the third pairing, while Scott Perunovich and Justin Faulk would figure to get the most additional power-play time.

  • Blues' Torey Krug: Won't play in season finale

    Krug (upper body) won't be in the lineup for Wednesday's regular-season finale against Dallas, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

    Krug will finish the season with four goals, 39 points, an ugly minus-31 rating, 162 shots and 111 hits through 77 contests. He should produce similar totals while seeing regular power-play usage in 2024-25, making him a decent complementary option at defense in most fantasy formats.

  • Blues' Torey Krug: Out Sunday

    Krug (upper body) won't play Sunday versus Seattle, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

    Krug will miss a second straight game Sunday, though he could return Wednesday for the Blues' season finale. Overall, the 33-year-old blueliner has four goals, 39 points and a minus-31 rating through 77 games this campaign.

  • Blues' Torey Krug: Officially ruled out Friday

    Krug (upper body) will not be in action against the Hurricanes on Friday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

    Krug continues to be classified as day-to-day but could be in danger of missing the rest of the regular season. In his last six outings, the 33-year-old defenseman notched a goal and four assists, including a pair of power-play points. Without Krug in the lineup, Scott Perunovich will likely move up to the No. 1 power-play unit.

  • Blues' Torey Krug: Questionable for Friday

    Krug is dealing with an upper-body injury and is questionable heading into Friday's clash with Carolina, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

    If Krug doesn't get into the lineup Friday, there is a chance the team will opt to shut him down for the rest of the campaign if the Blues are eliminated from playoff contention. In his last six outings, the defenseman has been producing offensively with one goal and four assists, including two power-play points. If Krug were to miss time, Scott Perunovich could get a look with the No. 1 power-play unit.

  • Blues' Torey Krug: Exits Wednesday's game

    Krug (undisclosed) is undergoing evaluation for an injury and won't finish Wednesday's game versus the Blackhawks.

    Krug scored a goal and went plus-2 over 12:40 of ice time in the contest. With the Blues' playoff hopes thin, it wouldn't be surprising for Krug to get shut down for the season once the team is officially out of contention. If Krug can't play Friday versus the Hurricanes, Marco Scandella could enter the lineup.

    Krug sat out Saturday's loss to the Sharks, but he was right back in a top-four role with power-play time Sunday. He has four helpers over his last five appearances. The 32-year-old is up to 38 points (13 on the power play) with 161 shots on net, 110 blocked shots, 64 hits and a minus-34 rating. Krug's 76 appearances represent his highest total in any of the last six years.

  • Blues' Torey Krug: Game-time decision Thursday

    Krug missed his first game of the season Thursday in Ottawa. The defenseman has three goals, 34 points, 148 shots on goal and 95 blocked shots in 69 appearances this year. Look for Marco Scandella to be a healthy scratch to make room for Krug's return.

  • Blues' Torey Krug: Two-point effort

    Krug tallied a goal and an assist in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Wild.

    The Wild were frantically trying to tie up the game late in the third period after pulling netminder Marc-Andre Fleury, but Krug's long-distance empty-netter from behind his goal line put the contest out of reach. Krug added an assist on the power play in the second period, one shot on goal and one hit in 24:46 of ice time. In his last 10 games, the 32-year-old defenseman has produced two goals, 10 assists, 13 blocked shots and 15 shots on net. The Blues are in the playoff hunt, and Krug's offensive contributions could become even more valuable as the season progresses.

  • Blues' Torey Krug: Earns power-play helper

    Krug logged a power-play assist, two shots on goal and four blocked shots in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Oilers.

    Krug had gone without a point in the last three games, but he snapped the mini-slump quickly by setting up Robert Thomas' tally early in the first period. Krug has a goal and nine helpers over 10 outings in February, which is great progress after a lackluster first half of the campaign. He's up to 30 points (10 on the power play), 126 shots on net, 79 blocked shots and a minus-23 rating over 59 contests overall.

  • Blues' Torey Krug: Scores second of the season

    Krug scored and added an assist in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Oilers.

    This was just Krug's second goal of the season. It wouldn't be fair to say the 32-year-old defender has lost his offensive gifts, but the goals haven't quite been there this season. Part of that is a lack of power-play goals. He's still part of the team's top unit, but he hasn't yet scored on the man advantage. In years past, he's added as many as six goals and 30 points on the power play. Even last year, in a relatively down season for offensive production, Krug had four goals and 14 points on the power play through 63 games. This year, through 53 contests, he has just eight power-play assists and no goals.
