Losing Krug for any regular season games would be huge for the Bruins, as he had eight goals and 51 points in 81 games last season. In other injury news, the Bruins also announced that forward Matt Beleskey (foot contusion) is day-to-day. He was hurt in Boston’s preseason opener against Montreal on Monday.
