Krebs (jaw) was removed from the NHL's COVID-19 protocols list Friday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Krebs (jaw) was added to the NHL's COVID-19 protocols list Thursday, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Krebs is already considered out indefinitely with a fractured jaw, so this news won't impact his availability for Friday's Game 7 versus Minnesota. The Golden Knights will likely need to make a deep playoff run in order for Krebs to have a shot at returning this season.

Krebs suffered a fractured jaw Saturday and will be out indefinitely, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
With just one game remaining in the regular season it's safe to say that Krebs won't return until at least the playoffs. The rookie forward tallied one assist and four hits in four NHL games this season. It's unclear if he'll be able to return at all before next season.

Krebs left Saturday's game versus the Blues after he was hit in the face with a puck, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Krebs took a slap shot to the face from teammate Shea Theodore. Somewhat cruelly, the deflection off of Krebs went on target and counted as his first NHL shot on goal. The 20-year-old didn't return at the start of the third period, and the severity of his injury is not fully known.

Krebs was assigned to the taxi squad Tuesday, per CapFriendly.
EDGE Analysis
Krebs earned an assist in his NHL debut Monday, a 6-5 loss to the Wild. The 20-year-old forward's status in the lineup ahead of Wednesday's game versus the Wild likely depends on if Max Pacioretty (undisclosed) will be able to play.

Krebs posted an assist and went 4-for-5 at the faceoff dot in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
While the Golden Knights blew a two-goal lead, Krebs had a memorable NHL debut. His first career point was an assist on Alex Tuch's first-period tally. The 20-year-old Krebs racked up 43 points in 24 contests with WHL Winnipeg at the junior level this season. Krebs was selected 17th overall in the 2019 draft and could compete for a full-time roster spot with the Golden Knights in 2021-22.

Krebs was promoted to the Golden Knights' roster Monday.
EDGE Analysis
This move should pave the way for Krebs to make his NHL debut Monday against the Wild. The 17th overall selection in the 2019 draft had five points in five games with AHL Henderson before being moved up to the NHL level.
