Peyton Krebs - NHL News & Rumors

Generates helper Thursday Krebs notched an assist and two blocked shots in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Senators.

Impact Krebs has earned three points over his last six outings. He remains firmly in a bottom-six role, though he could draw a little more playing time if the Sabres' usage of seven defensemen from Thursday becomes a regular thing. Krebs is at 13 points, 30 shots on net, 71 hits, 19 PIM and a minus-2 rating through 41 appearances.

Curbs dry spell Sunday Krebs netted an even-strength goal on two shots and added two blocked shots, one hit and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blues.

Impact Krebs redirected a Bowen Byram shot to open the scoring at 6:52 of the first period. The goal was Krebs' first since Nov. 23, and he snapped a seven-game point drought in the process. The 23-year-old is skating on the third line, but he's received minimal time on the man advantage over his last six games. That's unlikely to change considering all of Krebs' offensive contributions have come at even strength in 2024-25. The Calgary native has chipped in four goals and 11 points through 36 appearances.

Gathers assist in loss Krebs notched an assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Rangers.

Impact Krebs has three helpers over his last three outings. Two of his three highest ice-time totals have come over the last two games, including a season-high 17:10 in this loss, which suggests he's playing a larger role than his fourth-line assignment indicates. Krebs hasn't had much success in 2024-25 with 10 points, 22 shots on net, 48 hits, 15 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 28 appearances, but a major lineup shuffle could be on the way after the Sabres dropped an eighth straight game Wednesday. Given Krebs' recent trends, he could stand to benefit.

Two helpers against Wings Krebs notched two assists in Monday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Red Wings.

Impact Both helpers came in the first period as the Sabres jumped out to a 3-2 lead that eventually slipped away. It was the first multi-point performance of the season for Krebs, and it snapped a six-game point drought. On the season, the 23-year-old center has just three goals and nine points in 27 appearances despite seeing some time in the top six for Buffalo.

Lights lamp Saturday Krebs scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.

Impact Krebs snapped a three-game slump with the first-period tally. The 23-year-old continues to play in a fourth-line role, though he was able to avoid getting lost in the shuffle when head coach Lindy Ruff shortened the bench in the third period. Krebs is up to three goals, four assists, 15 shots on net, 15 PIM, 29 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 20 appearances. He's not really a standout in any one area, so he has limited usefulness in fantasy.

Scores in Monday's loss Krebs scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 7-5 loss to the Canadiens.

Impact Krebs has two points over his last three games, but offense is likely to remain sporadic for him as long as he's on the fourth line. The 23-year-old center is up to five points, 10 shots on net, 25 hits and 13 PIM over 15 appearances. Krebs could help in deep fantasy formats that reward his physical playing style.

Generates assist in win Krebs recorded an assist, three hits and two PIM in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Rangers.

Impact Krebs helped out on linemate Sam Lafferty's goal in the second period, which chased Igor Shesterkin from the game. Playing in a fourth-line role, Krebs has four points, seven shots on net, 24 hits, 13 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 13 contests. He's averaging 11:40 of ice time per game, down from 12:30 last year, so the 23-year-old is likely to remain limited on offense. He can be productive in hits and PIM, but it's not often enough to move the needle in fantasy.

Scores opening goal Krebs scored a goal and added two PIM in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Stars.

Impact Krebs got a shot past Jake Oettinger at 12:21 of the second period. With a point in each of the last two games, Krebs appears to be getting a bit more comfortable with his fourth-line role. The 23-year-old has a total of three points, four shots on net, 14 hits and nine PIM over seven appearances, averaging 10:56 of ice time this season compared to 12:30 per game last year.

Puts up helper Saturday Krebs managed an assist, two hits and two PIM in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Krebs has been confined to a fourth-line role this season. His helper came on linemate Beck Malenstyn's first-period tally. Through six appearances, Krebs has two assists, three shots on net, 14 hits and seven PIM. A first-round pick of Vegas in 2019, Krebs has rarely had a chance to play on a scoring line throughout his career. Saturday was just the third time in six games he's exceeded 10 minutes of ice time this season, and his usage is trending in the wrong direction after he averaged 12:30 per game in 2023-24.

Secures two-year deal Krebs inked a two-year, $2.9 million contract with Buffalo on Tuesday.

Impact Krebs is coming off a disappointing 2023-24 season in which he failed to reach the 20-point mark for just the first time in his three-year NHL career. The 23-year-old center needed to get a new deal done before the start of training camp after his entry-level contract expired July 1. Even with his contract in hand, the Calgary native may struggle to find consistent ice time following the offseason additions of Jason Zucker, Sam Lafferty and Ryan McLeod.

Snaps long, long goal drought Krebs scored the game's first goal during Sunday's 4-1 win over the Flames.

Impact That's just Krebs' fourth goal of the season and snaps a 29-game stretch without a tally. The 23-year-old center hasn't quite taken the big step forward many hoped would come this season. It's just his second point in the last eight games, a stretch where he's only put five shots on goal. There aren't many signs that this will be a turning point in his season.

Generates helper in win Krebs logged an assist, four PIM, three hits and a plus-3 rating in Monday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.

Impact Krebs remains mired in a goal drought, which is now up to 27 contests. He has just seven helpers in that span, and he's not contributing much else to offset the lack of scoring. The 23-year-old shouldn't be expected to rise above a third-line role with such limited offense. He's at 14 points, 63 shots on net, 61 PIM, 72 hits and a plus-5 rating through 67 appearances on the year.
