The Bruins announced the signing of defenseman Torey Krug to a new four-year contract on Thursday. The 25-year-old Krug will now be signed in Boston through 2019-2020 at $5.25 million per season.

Signed as a free agent in 2012, Krug became a fixture in the Bruins lineup during the 2013 postseason. Since then, he has established himself as an important member of the team’s roster. In the 2015-2016 season, Krug notched 40 assists, ninth among NHL defensemen.
