St. Louis Blues defenseman Torey Krug will have ankle surgery and miss the 2024-25 NHL season.
The team announced last month that he had been diagnosed with pre-arthritic changes in his left ankle and would try to rehabilitate the injury without surgery.
The team said the diagnosis is a cumulative result of a bone fracture earlier in his career. Krug, 33, injured his left ankle in a preseason game in 2018 while playing for Boston.
Krug, who was with the Bruins when they lost the Stanley Cup Final to the Blues in seven games in 2019, signed a seven-year contract worth $45.5 million with St. Louis in 2020. The Livonia, Michigan, native has since put up 151 points in 262 regular-season and playoff games.
