The NHL season is nearly here but the St. Louis Blues got some disappointing news on Tuesday.
Throughout the summer, NHL players remain in the gym and on the ice trying to get better for the upcoming season. However, defenseman Torey Krug was an unlucky fellow as he suffered an injury in training.
The Blues announced on X on Tuesday that Krug had suffered an injury and would be re-evaluated on Oct. 1.

Torey Krug stats
Torey Krug went undrafted due to him playing at Michigan State and was one of the most highly sought-after-college free agents. He ended up signing a deal with the Boston Bruins.
Krug made his NHL debut during the 2011-2012 season but became a full-time player in the 2013-14 season. The defenseman spent parts of nine seasons with the Bruins and in 2020 on the opening day of free agency, he signed a seven-year $45.5 million deal with the St. Louis Blues.
In his first season with the Blues, Krug skated in 51 games and recorded 32 points and then followed it up with 43 points in 64 games. Last year, Krug skated in 63 games and recorded 32 points.
Torey Krug was also rumored to be in trade talks this summer to Philadelphia as part of the Kevin Hayes trade, but the defenseman opted to not waive his no-trade clause.
