The Bruins made a few minor moves on Sunday, signing a trio of players to add organizational depth.

The B's signed forward Justin Florek and defensemen Zach Trotman and Torey Krug to entry-level contracts.

Krug, signed as a college free agent, will report to the big club in Boston, and will be eligible to play in any of the team's remaining regular season games, but not the postseason.

A 5-foot-9, 180-pound defenseman, Krug recently finished his junior season at Michigan State University. He served as the team's captain for the second straight year, and set career bests in goals (12), assists (22) and points (34).

Krug was named the CCHA Player of the Year and was a 2012 Hobey Baker Award finalist.

Florek, a 6-foot-4, 200-pound forward, just finished his senior season at Northern Michigan University, where he posted 19-17-36 totals. The Marquette, Mich, native was originally drafted by the B's in the fifth round (135th overall) in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, and he attended the Bruins Development Camp in both 2010 and 2011.

Trotman, who will join Providence along with Florek, is a 6-foot-3, 216-pound defenseman. He recently finished his junior season at Lake Superior State University, where he set career bests in goals (11) and points (21).
