Personal life
Krug was born in Livonia, Michigan, on April 12, 1991, the son of Cheryl and Kyle Krug. Adam, Toy's brother, played college hockey at Adrian College, and Matt, his brother, attended Robert Morris University and Wayne State University. Zak, his brother, plays college volleyball at Siena Heights University in Adrian, Michigan.
Krug is married to Melanie Krug. They have two children together. Krug is a Christian.
Former Detroit Red Wings forward Pavel Datsyuk was "the most well-rounded player on the ice," Toby says, after former teammate Zdeno Chára. His father has the most clout in hockey, according to him.
Krug earned a Bachelor's degree in Political Science from Michigan State University in May 2017. He began enrolling in the finance program at the university but then moved to Pre-Law because he didn't like the content. Krug was forced to re-register with Boston due to the fact that Law was not accessible online, directing him to Political Science. During the NHL off-season, he earned his remaining 38 credits online during the next five years.
Playing career
Krug played with the Detroit Honeybaked minor ice hockey team in the 2003 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament as a youth. During the ten days of the tournament, he was hosted by the Avoine family in Québec City. Krug skated in 59 regular season games for the Indiana Ice of the United States Hockey League (USHL), scoring 47 points. He later played for the Belle Tire midget program in Michigan. Despite being undrafted in the USHL, Krug was given an invitation by coach Jeff Blashill to try out for the Ice, eventually making the team. Krug also skated in 13 Clark Cup playoff games with seven points before winning the championship. In 2008-09, he was a member of the USHL All-Rookie Team and set a new record for points in a season by a defenseman.
Krug joined Michigan State University in the fall of 2009 and was first listed as a fifth or sixth defenseman on the roster. Krug was named to the CCHA's All-Rookie Team during the 2009–2010 season. After skating in all 38 games, he finished second on the team in rookie scoring and led all CCHA first-year defensemen in scoring. Krug quickly rose to fame as one of the CCHA's most offensive players, and the Spartans' captain was appointed ahead of his sophomore season. Krug, a sophomore, was selected to the First Team All-CCHA and named as the CCHA's Best Offensive Defenseman (he was the CCHA's top-scoring defenseman that year). He was selected to the All-CCHA Team for the second time in 2011–12 and was named CCHA Player of the Year and a Hobey Baker Award finalist. Krug was the best scoring defenseman in the CCHA during the season, and he shared the CCHA conference scoring crown with Notre Dame's T. J. Tynan (29 points), becoming the first defenseman to win a scoring title since Wayne Gagner in 1986–87.
Krug was one of collegiate hockey's most highly coveted free agents when he signed with the Boston Bruins in 2012.
Krug was signed to an entry-level Boston Bruins deal on March 25, 2012, his first appearance against the Pittsburgh Penguins in the NHL. Krug earned one assist and had even higher rating in two games, averaging just over 17 minutes of ice time per game.
Krug was with the Providence Bruins for the 2012-13 season, where he was plagued by a strained ankle until mid-January. He scored his first NHL goal against the New York Rangers on an emergency basis in his first Stanley Cup playoff game, becoming the first Bruins defenseman to score in his playoff debut since Glen Wesley in 1988. Krug scored his second NHL goal in Game 2 of the same season, becoming the fourth player in the Bruins to score goals in his first two playoff games. He became the first rookie defenseman in League history to score four goals in his first five playoff games. Krug impressed in the 2013 postseason by scoring four goals and receiving six assists.
Krug debuted on the Bruins' first night roster in 2013-2014, and he scored his first regular season NHL goal against Jimmy Howard of the Detroit Red Wings on October 5, 2013. On November 25, he became the first rookie defenseman to score an overtime goal in Bruins history, as well as his first NHL game-winning goal. Krug was often praised for the Calder Memorial Trophy, which was given to the NHL's rookie of the year during the 2013–14 season. He was voted to the NHL's All Rookie Team as the best scoring rookie defenseman in the league and ranked 4th in the league in the goals amongst rookies. The Bruins captured the Presidents' Trophy with their 14 goals and 26 assists, the league's best record. Krug had 10 points in 12 games in 2014, losing to the 2014 Stanley Cup playoffs.
Krug had 12 goals and 27 assists in 2014-2015 Boston Bruins season, his highest level of his career, with a +28 plus-minus. He had 44 points on four goals and a career-high 40 assists the following season.
He re-signed a four-year contract with the Bruins worth $5.25 million. Krug finished second in assists and sixth in total points in the 2016-17 season. Krug underwent surgery to fix a right shoulder injury in late April, and was estimated to take six months to recover. Krug recovered enough to play in the 2017 preseason, but he was hurt in his second exhibition game, prompting him to postpone the Bruins' season opener.
Krug suffered his left ankle injury during Game 4 against the Tampa Bay Lightning and was later ruled out for the remainder of the series. Krug sustained a new injury to his left ankle in the last 2018–19 pre-season game against the 2018 Stanley Cup-winning Washington Capitals, just before the 2018–19 season got underway on October 3rd, and was supposed to miss a three-week period for recuperation and re-evaluation. Krug became the all-time points leader for an American-born player in Boston Bruins history on March 27, 2019. Krug became the first player in Bruins history to record four points in a Stanley Cup Final game against the St. Louis Blues on June 1, 2019.
Krug left the Bruins after nine seasons and signed a seven-year, $45.5 million contract with the St. Louis Blues on October 9, 2020, the first day of free agency.
