The Buffalo Sabres may have lost Game 5 against the Boston Bruins in overtime, but they are still in a good spot. This is because the Sabres have a 3-2 series over the Bruins and need only one more win to advance to the second round. The Sabres have had many players step up for them early on this post-season, and Peyton Krebs has been one of them. Krebs has been off to a hot start this postseason, and the truth is in his stats. In five games so far, he has recorded two goals, three assists, five points, and a plus-6 rating. This included him having a goal and an assist in the Sabres' 6-1 win over the Bruins in Game 4. Krebs having a strong start to the postseason comes after he had the best regular season of his career so far in 2025-26. In 82 games this campaign with Buffalo, he set new career highs with 12 goals, 27 assists, and 39 points. Krebs will now be looking to stay hot for the Sabres as the postseason rolls on. If he continues to provide them with excellent secondary offensive production, it would help the Sabres' chances of knocking out the Bruins.
