After suffering an ankle injury in the 2018 playoffs, the defenseman decided to pick up a new sport: fishing. He accepted invitations from his neighbors to go out in Boston Harbor a few times, and once reeled in a 44-inch striped bass. “That’s the leading one in the marina, so all the guys that have been fishing all summer are kind of upset because I’m a rookie and now I have the biggest one on the dock.” There are some other perks, besides maybe catching your own dinner, like when he caught an up-close glimpse of whales. “When you’re out there, you never know what you’re going to see,” Krug says. “We were following them around for an hour and a half, just watching them eat and seeing them in their natural habitat.”
