Blues place D Torey Krug (lower body) on long-term IR

The St. Louis Blues placed defenseman Torey Krug on long-term injured reserve Tuesday.

While being placed on long-term injured reserve requires a player to miss at least 10 NHL games and 24 days, the Blues announced Krug would be re-evaluated in six weeks as he deals with a lower-body injury.

Also on Tuesday, the Blues recalled defenseman Tyler Tucker from the Springfield Thunderbirds of the American Hockey League.
