Torey Krug made sure to remind the Boston Bruins what they were missing while he was gone.
The B’s defenseman made his return to action Saturday night following a five-game absence due to an upper-body injury. And it was Krug that gave the Bruins a 5-4 victory over the Minnesota Wild thanks to his overtime tally.
Shortly beyond the midway point of the extra period, Krug held the puck by himself deep in Boston’s defensive end. He carried the puck forward and the Wild responded by delivering downright appalling defense, allowing Krug to go the length of the ice and burn Minnesota goalie Alex Stalock.
Take a look.
