It was a tremendous month of February for Livonia native Torey Krug, and the American Hockey League took note.

It was announced today that the Providence Bruins defenseman was named the CCM/AHL Rookie of the Month for February.

Krug recorded four goals and eight assists in 11 games during February. His 10-game scoring streak tied the longest of any AHL rookie this season, as well.
