Krebs scored an empty-net goal and added four hits in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Krebs has three goals and an assist over his last four games. He's been back on the fourth line lately, but his production is still there despite the lack of quality minutes on offense. The 24-year-old center has six goals, 20 points, 57 shots on net, 118 hits, 30 blocked shots, 46 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 50 appearances. He's on pace to reach the 30-point mark for the first time, but Krebs' offense could be volatile if he stays in the bottom six for an extended period of time.

Krebs recorded a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Krebs has found the back of the net in two of Buffalo's last three games. However, the 24-year-old doesn't contribute much offensively most of the time. The bottom-six forward has five goals, 19 points, 114 hits and 56 shots on net through 49 appearances this season.

Krebs scored a goal, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Krebs has been back in the bottom six for the last three games. He ended an eight-game goal drought Saturday, but the reduced ice time will make it tough for him to continue producing on offense. He's at four goals, 17 points, 53 shots on net, 110 hits, 29 blocked shots and 46 PIM across 47 appearances.

Krebs logged two assists in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

He's now at 16 points (three goals, 13 assists), 50 shots on net, 102 hits, 44 PIM, 26 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 43 appearances this season. He's an intriguing option for fantasy managers in deeper formats since he continues to play on the Sabres' top line.

EDGE Analysis

Krebs placed the bow on top of the Sabres' ninth consecutive win, as he found the back of the Blues' empty net to put Buffalo up by two goals. With the twine finder, he is up to three goals, 14 points, 45 shots on net, 92 hits and 22 blocks through 38 games this season. After dishing out 10 helpers but failing to find the back of the net himself across his first 34 games, the 24-year-old forward has three goals over his last four outings. His contributions offensively from the Sabres' top line have helped ease the goal-scoring burden on Tage Thompson's shoulders. Despite Krebs lack of a role on the power play, he still has fantastic streaming value in fantasy with six points and 16 hits over the team's last seven games.

Krebs scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Saturday's 4-1 victory over Boston.

EDGE Analysis

The multi-point performance, and the GWG, were both the first of the season for Krebs. The 24-year-old has only two goals on the season, but both have come in the last three games as he gets a look on Tage Thompson's line -- Krebs led all Sabres forwards in even-strength ice time Saturday at 16:28. On the season, the physical winger has 13 points, 92 hits, 43 shots on net, 40 PIM and a minus-5 rating in 37 games.

EDGE Analysis

Krebs hadn't scored all year, but despite his futility, he's spent the last four games in a top-line gig. He's made the most of it with three points in that span, but the 24-year-old is a bit miscast that high in the lineup. Overall, he's posted one goal, 10 assists, 42 shots on net, 85 hits, 21 blocked shots, 40 PIM and a minus-6 rating through 35 appearances this season.

Krebs recorded an assist, blocked a shot and dished out three hits in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Krebs played a hand in Tage Thompson's goal midway through the second period, which gave the Sabres a 2-0 lead. With the apple, Krebs is up to 10 assists, 39 shots on goal, 84 hits and 20 blocks through 34 outings this season. While he is yet to score a goal this season, the 24-year-old forward has three helpers in his last six outings. With Jason Zucker (lower body) likely out until after Christmas Day, Krebs has moved up to the Sabres' top line and should see heightened usage in the interim. While he lacks the high-end scoring potential of other Buffalo forwards, his category coverage of 84 hits, which ranks second on the team, gives him decent streaming value in deep fantasy formats for the time being.
