St. Louis Blues defenseman Torey Krug has been diagnosed with pre-arthritic changes in his left ankle, the team announced Tuesday.
Krug will attempt to rehabilitate the injury himself over the next six-to-eight weeks. If he needs surgery, he'll miss the entire 2024-25 season.
The injury stemmed from a bone fracture earlier in his career.
Krug is entering the fifth season of a seven-year contract he signed with the Blues in 2020. He carries a $6.5-million cap hit, which can be placed entirely on long-term injured reserve if he's unable to play.
The 33-year-old posted 39 points in 77 games last season, averaging nearly 22 minutes per night while posting a minus-31 rating - the worst mark of his career.

Silovs was unexpectedly thrust into a starter's role in this year's playoffs due to injuries ahead of him on the depth chart. The 23-year-old had nine NHL games under his belt when he took over Vancouver's crease in Round 1.
"Arturs helped us out a lot when called upon last year as he continues to grow and develop as a goalie," said general manager Patrik Allvin. "We expect him to come into training camp and battle for a full-time position with the big club. Our group will continue to work with him to help sharpen his skills and provide him with all the tools necessary to take another step forward in his young career."
Thatcher Demko is Vancouver's projected starter for 2024-25. Last season's backup, Casey DeSmith, joined the Dallas Stars this summer as a free agent.
Silovs registered a .898 save percentage in 10 playoff appearances and had a .907 clip with AHL Abbotsford in 2023-24. He was a sixth-round draft pick of the Canucks in 2019.

Rumors during June's draft suggested the Rangers and Detroit Red Wings were working on a deal built around the rugged defenseman. However, nothing came close to materializing, sources told Staple.
The Rangers reportedly asked Trouba for his 15-team no-trade list in June, but that was standard procedure as his full no-move clause switched to a modified one after the season ended. Trouba was reportedly "shocked" to see his name in trade rumors.
The blue-liner has two seasons remaining on his contract at a cap hit of $8 million. He signed a seven-year deal with the Rangers in 2019 after asking to be dealt there from the Winnipeg Jets.
Trouba was named New York's captain in 2022.
The Michigan native chipped in 22 points in 69 games this past season. He also averaged nearly 21 minutes per contest during the Rangers' Eastern Conference Final run.
