Krebs cleared the NHL's COVID-19 protocols Friday, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Although Krebs has exited the league's virus protocols, it isn't clear if he'll slot back into the lineup immediately Saturday against Detroit. The 20-year-old forward has picked up one assist through three appearances with Buffalo this campaign.

Krebs entered the NHL's COVID-19 protocols Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Krebs has averaged 14:20 of ice time, 1:05 during the power play, and has tallied one assist through his 12 NHL appearances this season. The Calgary-born center has played more AHL contests than NHL, so his absence will be felt minimally in fantasy circles.

Krebs was recalled by the Sabres on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Krebs is expected to make his Sabres debut Wednesday against the Devils. The 24-year-old forward has racked up 19 points through 18 AHL appearances this season.

Krebs, who was traded to the Sabres on Thursday, will report to AHL Rochester, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Sabres want to prioritize Krebs' development, so he'll report to Buffalo's AHL affiliate rather than the big club to start. The 2017 first-round pick has racked up five helpers through two appearances with AHL Henderson this season and failed to tally a point over nine games with the Golden Knights.

Krebs is headed to Buffalo from Vegas along with Alex Tuch (shoulder), a 2022 first-round pick and a 2023 second-round pick in a swap for Jack Eichel (neck) and a 2023 third-round selection.
EDGE Analysis
Ironically, it is Krebs -- a 2019 first-round pick -- who figures to have the most immediate impact on his new club as both Eichel and Tuch are dealing with long-term injuries. In nine games for the Knights this season, the 20-year-old Krebs has generated 10 shots, six hits and a minus-6 rating but remains pointless to start the year. While he should get a chance to play in Buffalo right away, if Krebs continues to struggle, he could find himself headed to AHL Rochester before too long.

Krebs was recalled by the Golden Knights on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Vegas is dealing with several injuries up front, so Krebs could draw into the lineup as soon as Wednesday versus St. Louis. The 2019 first-round pick has gone scoreless through two games with the big club this campaign.

Krebs was sent down to AHL Henderson on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Krebs recorded two hits, one shot and a minus-2 rating in the first two games of the season while averaging 13:20 of ice time. Given the Golden Knights don't play again until Wednesday's clash with the Blues, Krebs' demotion could simply be a cap-saving move that will see him brought back up closer to puck drop.

Krebs (jaw) was at the Golden Knights' afternoon practice session Thursday, David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
The oft-injured center earned an assist in four games in his first taste of NHL action last year. Krebs' presence at training camp suggests his broken jaw has healed well enough for him to get on the ice. He'll be in competition for a bottom-six role during camp, although it wouldn't be surprising for the first-round pick from 2019 to end up with AHL Henderson to begin 2021-22.

Krebs (jaw) won't be available for Thursday's Game 6 against Montreal, David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Krebs has been missing due to the jaw issue since May 8, as he's still without a timetable for a return. The 20-year-old won't likely make an impact even if he suits up, as he recorded just one point in four games this season. Especially considering Chandler Stephenson returned from injury in Game 5, it's likely Krebs won't make an appearance for the remainder of the postseason.

Krebs (jaw) was on the ice with the rest of the Golden Knights' 'Black Aces' on Thursday, David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Considering he wasn't in attendance at the game-day skate, Krebs shouldn't be expected to rejoin the lineup versus Colorado on Thursday. The Calgary native was seen sporting extra protection on his helmet to protect his broken jaw. Even if cleared to play, Krebs figures to be hard-pressed to break into the lineup for Vegas and will likely serve as an emergency depth option once healthy.
