The Leafs aren't the only team dealing with injuries. In fact, their opponent this evening, the St. Louis Blues, will be missing a pretty important piece, as they announced on Tuesday morning that they have assigned defenseman Torey Krug to LTIR with a lower-body injury that is expected to keep him out a minimum of six weeks.
The stop in St. Louis tonight will be just the first of 3 stops on a short road trip for the Leafs coming out of the holiday break, with games against Arizona on Thursday and Colorado on Saturday.
Krug has been a pretty effective weapon against the Leafs in his career, having amassed 19 points in 29 career games against the Buds.
