Krebs scored a shorthanded goal on five shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Flyers.
Krebs snapped his seven-game goal drought with his first-period tally. The 24-year-old center emerged as a middle-six option late in the season after spending much of the early part of 2024-25 on the fourth line. Krebs reached the 10-goal mark for the first time in his career with Thursday's tally, and he ended the season with 28 points and 81 games played, both career highs. He added 80 shots on net, 136 hits, 60 PIM and a plus-1 rating.

Sabres' Peyton Krebs: Nabs helper Sunday
Rotowire
Krebs logged an assist and two hits in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Lightning.
Krebs has three helpers over his last six games. Prior to that, he had a stretch of six points over five contests, so this is a bit of a slowdown but nothing to be concerned about for a middle-six forward. The 24-year-old is at a career-high 27 points (nine goals, 18 assists) while adding 75 shots on net, 130 hits, 32 blocked shots, 60 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 79 appearances this season.

Sabres' Peyton Krebs: Contributes pair of assists
Rotowire
Krebs notched two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Bruins.
Krebs saw a five-game point streak end Saturday versus the Lightning, but he bounced back quickly. He has three goals and five assists over his last seven contests despite a lack of power-play time during his hot stretch. Overall, the 24-year-old center has matched his career high with 26 points (nine goals, 17 assists), over 75 games, which is identical production to his 74-game effort in 2022-23. He's added 72 shots on net, 122 hits, 60 PIM and an even plus-minus rating this year as a regular in Buffalo's bottom six.

Sabres' Peyton Krebs: Riding five-game point streak
Rotowire
Krebs scored a goal, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Senators.
Krebs is on a five-game point streak, earning three goals and three assists in that span. He's in a bottom-six role at even strength, but he's earned a bit more ice time with his recent play, including his fourth-highest total of the season Tuesday (17:46). Overall, the center has nine goals, 24 points, 69 shots, 117 hits, 60 PIM and a minus-2 rating across 73 appearances.

Sabres' Peyton Krebs: Strikes empty net Sunday
Rotowire
Krebs scored an empty-net goal and had two shots on net in Sunday's 8-5 win over the Capitals.
Krebs placed the cherry on top of a March-Madness-worthy upset over the Capitals in a 13-goal thriller. Overall, Krebs has eight goals, 23 points and 68 shots on net in 72 appearances this season. The 24-year-old center has been one of many Sabres forwards thriving offensively as of late and has a four-game point streak consisting of two goals and three assists. Krebs is just three points away from tying his career high in points from the 2022-23 campaign. If he can maintain the momentum he has built on his four-game point streak, he has a great chance to pencil the 2024-25 season as a new personal best.

Sabres' Peyton Krebs: Two points in rout
Rotowire
Krebs scored a goal and added an assist in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Penguins.
It was Krebs' first multi-point performance since Jan. 20. The 24-year-old is up to seven goals and 21 points through 70 appearances, but he has produced a career-high 115 hits while mainly serving in a bottom-six role.

Sabres' Peyton Krebs: Nets power-play goal
Rotowire
Krebs scored a power-play goal and tallied four shots on net in Monday's 3-2 win in overtime against Boston.
Krebs lit the lamp for the opening goal of Monday's contest just over four minutes into the first period. His goal came with a man advantage and was his first power-play point of the season. Overall, the 24-year-old center has six goals, 18 points and 62 shots on net in 65 appearances this season. Krebs still has time to match his career high in points of 26 but is currently off the pace with just two points in his last 20 games. What is encouraging, however, is that both of those points are goals in his past six appearances. Krebs is best left off fantasy radars for the time being but should see a good amount of ice time down the stretch, as the Sabres are unlikely to grab a playoff spot in the Atlantic.

Sabres' Peyton Krebs: Gets on scoresheet with goal
Rotowire
Krebs scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Thursday's 6-5 loss to the Lightning.
Krebs snapped a 14-game point drought, and he did it with his first goal since Dec. 29. Over the 23 contests between tallies, the center was limited to five assists, a minus-5 rating, 23 shots on net and 39 hits. Krebs brings a physical element to the Sabres' bottom six, but his scoring is limited. He's at 17 points through 60 outings, matching his total from 80 appearances a year ago, and he's added 55 shots on net, 35 PIM and 106 hits in 2024-25.

Sabres' Peyton Krebs: Slump continues Thursday
Rotowire
Krebs' point drought reached 11 games in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
Krebs has seen his ice time fluctuate wildly during the drought -- it's been as high 21:42 and as low as 8:56. He was at 17:47 in Thursday's loss, in which he had two shots on net, two hits and a minus-2 rating. Krebs has primarily served as a bottom-six forward this season, earning 16 points, 53 shots on net, 98 hits, 35 PIM and a minus-6 rating through 56 contests. Until his offense shows up again, he can be left on the waiver wire in most fantasy formats.

Sabres' Peyton Krebs: Supplies pair of assists
Rotowire
Krebs registered two assists and two shots on goal in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Kraken.
Krebs hasn't scored in nine games, but he has five assists in that span. The 23-year-old forward saw 16:05 of ice time Monday, his most in any game since Dec. 11. Krebs has been up on the third line recently, which could help his production. He's at 16 points over 45 contests, one point shy of matching his 80-game output from 2023-24. He's added 36 shots on net, 74 hits, 21 PIM and a minus-3 rating in 2024-25.

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

Sabres' Peyton Krebs: Curbs dry spell Sunday
Rotowire
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.
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.

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

Sabres' Peyton Krebs: Two helpers against Wings
Rotowire
Krebs notched two assists in Monday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Red Wings.
Both helpers came in the first period as the Sabres jumped out to a 3-2 lead that eventually slipped away.

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.

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

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

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

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

Sabres' Peyton Krebs: Puts up helper Saturday
Rotowire
Krebs managed an assist, two hits and two PIM in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blackhawks.
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's outing marked the third time in six games that he's topped 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.

Sabres' Peyton Krebs: Secures two-year deal
Rotowire
Krebs inked a two-year, $2.9 million contract with Buffalo on Tuesday.
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.
