Wow...I didnt realize 500 for the Hobbitt.
Bruins’ Torey Krug reflects heading into 500th NHL game - The Boston Globe
NEW YORK — Torey Krug is still waiting for his future to come into focus. The pending unrestricted free agent understands he almost certainly will be a Bruin through the end of the season, but he doesn’t know when — if — his camp and the club will agree on a long-term deal.
Meanwhile, Krug had a bit of reflecting to do Saturday.
Undrafted and undersized, the 5-foot-9-inch defenseman was set to play his 500th game against the Islanders.
“Especially from where my career started, it seemed like a long shot,” said Krug, who was signed by the Bruins as a free agent out of Michigan State in March 2012. “I’ve enjoyed every step along the way. A lot of good memories. Hopefully, a lot to come.”
Krug entered Saturday as the top power-play quarterback in the league. He led defensemen in power-play assists (17), and was third among all players, behind Edmonton’s Connor McDavid (22) and Leon Draisaitl (21).
