Jimmy Murphy of Boston Hockey Now: Again, it is another one of those postseasons where a player raises his level of play at the right time. This time. Torey Krug is that player.

Krug has done everything in these playoffs — from leader to physical presence to offensive thrust. His contract is a bargain basement $5.2 million for 2019-20.
