Krebs dished out two assists in Wednesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Krebs posted his first multi-point performance in exactly one month, and Feb. 15 was also the last time he scored a goal. The 22-year-old forward has yet to produce consistently at the NHL level, but Krebs has shown flashes of the talent that prompted Vegas to draft him 17th overall in 2019 before trading him to Buffalo, so it's too early to write him off completely.

Krebs scored a goal on two shots, added an assist, went plus-2 and logged two hits in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Krebs responded to three straight goals from the Ducks in the second period. The 22-year-old center also set up Casey Mittelstadt's go-ahead tally late in the frame, which stood as the game-winner. Krebs has two goals and two assists over his last five contests, and he's up to 16 points, 43 shots, 53 hits, 36 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 45 appearances.

Krebs scored a power-play goal on two shots, logged two hits and added two PIM in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Krebs snapped his six-game goal drought with the third-period marker. The 22-year-old was bumped down to the fourth line to begin this game, but he still logged 15:59 of ice time. The center is up to seven tallies, 14 points, 41 shots on net, 51 hits, 36 PIM and a minus-3 rating through 44 contests. This was the first power-play goal of his career.

Krebs scored two goals in Saturday's 6-3 win over Anaheim.
EDGE Analysis
After tapping home a loose puck in front of the Ducks net midway through the second period, Krebs fired a laser over John Gibson's glove in the third to wrap up the scoring on the afternoon. It's the second multi-goal game of the 21-year-old's career, with the other coming last March against the Leafs, and on the season Krebs has six goals and 12 points through 37 games. The 17th overall pick in the 2019 NHL Draft still has upside, but as long as he remains in a bottom-six role for the Sabres, his fantasy value will remain sketchy.

Krebs was recalled by the Sabres on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Although he's been promoted, at this point it isn't clear if Krebs will enter the lineup for Tuesday's game versus Chicago. The 21-year-old forward has picked up nine points through 34 top-level appearances this season.

Krebs was assigned to AHL Rochester on Monday, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Krebs was called up Sunday as part of Buffalo's lineup shuffling to keep goaltender Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen in the lineup. The 23-year-old netminder was recalled from the minors Monday in a corresponding move. Coach Don Granato expects Krebs to be back in the big club Tuesday to play against Chicago.

Krebs was called up from AHL Rochester on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Krebs will rejoin the Sabres just two days after he was sent down to the AHL. The 21-year-old forward has three goals and six assists in 34 games this season. He should continue to play a bottom-six role, that is if he's not a healthy scratch. Goaltender Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen was sent down in a corresponding move.

Krebs was loaned to AHL Rochester on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Krebs has three goals and six assists in 34 games this season but only one assist in his last seven contests. The 2019 first-round pick of the Golden Knights was an integral part of the Jack Eichel trade last season, but the Sabres were using him as a fourth-line center and he needs to see more time as a top-six forward, something he will see if he remains in Rochester. The Sabres recalled Jack Quinn in a corresponding move.

Krebs notched an assist in Monday's 3-2 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Krebs helped out on a Lawrence Pilut goal at 13:28 of the second period, which was the game-winner. After a shaky first couple of months, Krebs has racked up three goals and a helper in his last seven games despite seeing limited usage on the fourth line. The 21-year-old center now has seven points, 23 shots on net, 26 hits, 16 PIM and a minus-1 rating in 26 appearances, though it's unclear if his uptick in offense will earn him a larger role in the near future.
