Boston Bruins defenseman Torey Krug will make his 2018-19 season debut on Tuesday night against the Carolina Hurricanes, Bruins head coach Bruce Cassidy confirmed hours before puck drop.
Krug injured his left ankle during a preseason game in late September and was to be re-evaluated three weeks later.
The ailment wasn't related to the ankle fracture that ended his season during the playoffs last spring.
Krug posted a career-high 59 points in 76 regular-season contests in 2017-18.
