This Sabres forward us staying hot as the season carries on.
The Buffalo Sabres picked up a hard-fought 4-3 win over the New York Islanders on Tuesday night. With this, the Sabres have improved to a 46-21-8 record and now have 100 points on the season.
Peyton Krebs certainly played a role in Buffalo's win, as he scored a goal at the 16:59 mark of the third period to give the Sabres a 3-2 lead. Bowen Byram would then score an empty-net goal to give the Sabres a 4-2 lead before Brayden Schenn with one second left for the Islanders.
With this goal, Krebs has now reached a new career high with 11 goals in 74 games this season. This comes after he already hit new career bests with 25 assists and 35 points this season with the Sabres. The 6-foot forward had 10 goals, 18 assists, and 28 points in 81 games during the 2024-25 season.
When looking at the secondary offensive production that Krebs has been giving the Sabres this season, there is no question that he has been making a positive impact for the Sabres. This is especially so when noting that he has also been giving the Sabres plenty of grit, as evidenced by his 173 hits on the year.
Overall, it has been a very solid year for Krebs, and it will be interesting to see how he builds on it from here.
