For many years, Torey Krug has been seen as one of the best offensive-minded defensemen in the NHL, but has received flack from Boston Bruins’ fans for his constant inability on the defensive side.

Three assists by a defensive player should never be overlooked and very much could be here. His ability to sit atop at the blue line on the leagues best power play has proven to leave its mark and alter the Boston Bruins’ opponent, especially the Carolina Hurricanes so far this series.
