Krug, who has missed time after taking a puck to the face in the preseason, was placed on IR on Tuesday but practiced in a non-contact sweater on Wednesday. Look for Krug to be sidelined for at least another week.
Krug took a puck to the mouth in the Bruins’ preseason win on Tuesday night. Krug will likely miss at least the first three games of the regular season. He will be re-evaluated in three weeks and a new update is expected to be released.
Fowler has been a part of trade rumours for years but we can put those to bed after inking an eight-year pact with the Ducks. In 2016-17, Fowler set a career-high with 11 goals and 39 points in 80 games. Fowler has No.1 fantasy defenseman upside, but should be selected as a No.2.
Parayko missed Saturday’s game vs. the Islanders, but will return tonight in Los Angeles. Parayko has registered 30 points (4G / 26A) in 66 games this season and should be active in all formats.
Parayko left last night’s game with an undisclosed injury and did not return. Parayko left after playing 13:31 and should be considered a game-time decision for tonight’s game.
Buchnevich went down for one game and scored two goals, so he comes back with Jesper Fast out for a few weeks. He could draw into the lineup in Boston on Thursday.
Buchnevich has been a healthy scratch for the last three games and was sent to Hartford this afternoon to create a roster spot to add Brendan Smith from Detroit today. Buchnevich has had a really inconsistent season and has had his play fall off a lot recently.
Buchnevich has just one assist in his last 10 games and head coach Alian Vigneault called his play “so-so” and that will lead to him being replaced by Matt Puempel on Thursday.
