Krebs scored the game's first goal during Sunday's 4-1 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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

Krebs posted an assist and two hits in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Krebs' contributions remain limited in a fourth-line role, but he's managed three points over his last seven games. The 22-year-old helped out on an Alex Tuch tally in the third period, which was the game-winner. Krebs is up to nine points, 48 shots on net, 48 PIM, 43 hits and a plus-4 rating over 46 contests this season, so he's not a player most fantasy managers need to be familiar with.

Krebs notched an assist in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Krebs has scored just one goal in his last 16 outings, adding two helpers and 24 shots over that stretch. Barring an injury in the lineup, the 22-year-old center figures to remain in a bottom-six role and shouldn't be expected to factor in much with the man advantage, especially once Jeff Skinner (upper body) and Dylan Cozens (upper body) return to the lineup.

Krebs posted a goal in Monday's 5-2 home win against the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
The goal was the second of the season for the 22-year-old Albertan pivot, and he snapped a four-game scoreless drought.

Krebs recorded a goal and an assist in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Krebs picked up an assist on Rasmus Dahlin's first-period tally before scoring his first goal of the season in the third, tying the game at 3-3. It's an encouraging effort from Krebs, who'd been struggling offensively this year -- he had just one point in 20 contests prior to Thursday's outing. The 22-year-old center tallied nine goals and 26 points in 74 games last season.

EDGE Analysis

Krebs went without a point in Monday's 3-1 loss against the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
While the 22-year-old pivot was scoreless, he was certainly active. He had a minus-1 rating, two shots on goal, a blocked shot, a minor penalty and a hit in 14:09 of ice time while winning four of eight faceoffs. After six scoreless outings to open the season, he'll keep searching for his first point Tuesday against the Senators.

Krebs recorded a goal in a 5-2 victory over Columbus on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Krebs didn't get a tally over his previous 28 contests, though he did register nine assists in that span. With the 2022-23 campaign in the books, Krebs has finished with nine goals, 26 points, 78 shots and 93 hits. The 22-year-old surpassed his 2021-22 totals of seven goals and 22 points, but that's mostly thanks to him jumping from 57 appearances last season to 74 games in 2022-23.

Krebs registered an assist in Friday's 5-4 win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Krebs has eight goals and 15 assists, topping his rookie output by a single point, though it's taken him 15 more games to get there. There's untapped potential with Krebs -- who was the No. 17 overall pick by the Golden Knights in 2019 and ultimately packaged in the Jack Eichel trade -- but the Sabres are easing him in as a fourth-line pivot with occasional looks on the power play.
