Bruins' Torey Krug: Dealt with knee injury

Krug told reporters Tuesday that it was a knee injury that caused him to miss the final game of the regular season as well as the Bruins' entire postseason run.

Analysis:

The severity of Krug's knee ailment has not been revealed, but considering that he was skating prior to Boston's elimination from the playoffs, it appears that he avoided a serious injury. Krug posted career highs in assists (43) and points (51) in his fourth full season with the Bruins, but he also notched a career-worst minus-10 rating. Assuming he works on his defensive game in the offseason, he could soon emerge as one of the NHL's elite blueliners.
