The Boston Bruins announced that defenceman Torey Krug suffered an ankle injury on Saturday. He will spend the next three weeks in a walking boot. After that point, his injury will be re-evaluated. However, a timeline for a return to the lineup is not yet known. This is unrelated to his previous left ankle injury from last season.
