It's obvious that Torey Krug is feeling it as he begins his playoff career.
He now has a goal in both of his first two postseason contests and added an assist for a two-point afternoon on Sunday. He was a big part of the Boston Bruins' 5-2 win against the New York Rangers in Game 2 and it's hard to imagine him losing his spot when the veteran defensemen are ready to return. May 19 - 5:48 PM

Although he is only 5'9", Bruins' rookie defenseman Torey Krug should not be underestimated physically.

He tossed 6'7" Brian Boyle into the net during Thursday's overtime win against the Rangers and did not back down from any of the larger New York players. "He’s a strong, stocky little kid," said teammate Matt Bartkowski. "He’s got a good frame and a good base and he’s strong for his size, so it really doesn’t surprise me that he’s able to stand in there and toss (Rangers forward Brian) Boyle into the net". Krug is a strong offensive player so the fact he can take care of himself on the ice as well makes him a potential fantasy asset going forward.

Torey Krug found the back of the net in his NHL playoff debut Thursday night.

He also posted three hits and three shots in the Bruins' 3-2 overtime win over the Rangers. Krug was thrust into action due to injuries and he played well during his 16:41 of ice time. He got to play because Boston didn't have veterans Dennis Seidenberg, Andrew Ference and Wade Redden available.

Torey Krug may get the chance to make his NHL playoff debut Thursday night in Game 1 against the Rangers.

He was paired with Adam McQuaid in the team's Wednesday practice because Dennis Seidenberg, Andrew Ference and Wade Redden were absent due to injuries.

Boston Bruins recall Torey Krug from AHL Providence.

The Bruins are dealing with a ton of injuries on the blueline, Dennis Seidenberg (leg) and Andrew Ference (undisclosed). Coach Claude Julien didn't have an update on Seidenberg, who played just 37 seconds in Monday's Game 7 win over the Bruins. Krug has been up to Boston before this season and will likely serve in a reserve capacity unless Boston's blueline ailments worsen.

Torey Krug was sent back down to the AHL on Friday night.

The Bruins thought they had a deal done to acquire Jarome Iginla, so that's why he had been brought up. Krug had an assist in 15:57 on Wednesday. Boston will continue to work the phone lines for deals, so there's always the chance Krug is up again very soon.

Torey Krug picked up a power-play assist in his Boston debut this season during Wednesday's shootout loss to Montreal.

He also had a minus-1 rating in 15:57 of ice time. Krug skated in two games with the Bruins last year and he had a helper over that as well.

Torey Krug was recalled Wednesday, and he has been inserted into the lineup against the Canadiens.

The 21-year-old blueliner has been a very productive player in the AHL this season with 10 goals and 24 assists in 55 games. Matt Bartkowski is a healthy scratch.
Mar 27 - 7:29 PM

Defenseman prospect Torey Krug is not exactly setting the AHL on fire.

The former NCAA star, who is hoping to start the season in Boston when and if the NHL lockout ends, has registered only six points in 20 games for the Providence Bruins. He is also a team-low minus nine. Krug is going to have to pick those numbers up if he wants to crack the Boston roster anytime soon.

Torey Krug wants to stick around at the NHL level next year after getting a taste of the big time last season in two appearances with the Boston Bruins.

"It makes you hungrier," he said. "It's been my dream my whole life, as a little kid. You change, you grow, you become a better person and you work toward your goals. My goal is to play in the NHL. I played two games there, but now I want to make a career out of it and be an impact player. It gives me a lot of incentive to come back." He could get a job as a depth defender, but he may also start the year in the minors.

Torey Krug recorded his first career point in Boston's 3-1 victory over Ottawa.

Krug assisted on Milan Lucic's goal in his second NHL game. He's finishing the season with Boston after being named the CCHA Player of the Year with 12 goals and 34 points in 38 NCAA games. He's worth keeping an eye on next season.

Defenseman Torey Krug will make his NHL debut tonight when the Bruins host Pittsburgh.

Krug was signed to an entry-level contract on March 25 following the completion of his junior season at Michigan State. The Spartans’ captain was named CCHA Player of the Year after setting career highs with 12-22-34.

Torey Krug took to the ice Tuesday for his first morning skate with the Boston Bruins.

The recently signed college free agent also attended special-teams meetings, but for now he will sit as a healthy scratch. "I'm certainly not going to tell you right now that he's not going to play," said coach Claude Julien. "We may give him an opportunity. It depends on how everything goes. The one thing he gets to do is experience the level of competition here at the NHL."

Boston signed Torey Krug to a three-year, entry-level contract on Sunday.

The college free agent posted 12 goals and added 22 assists in 38 games from the back end in 2011-12 with Michigan State University. He was named the CCHA Player of the Year and a 2012 Hobey Baker finalist. Krug is expected to join the Bruins immediately, which was a condition of him agreeing to terms with the organization, and he may get into a game with the Bruins before the end of the year. However, he will not be eligible to compete in the postseason.
