Peyton Krebs shines in homecoming

Peyton Krebs returns to his birthplace and plays lights out. Against the Toronto Maple Leafs, the “essentially” rookie center/winger logged two goals in 14:20 of ice time. With four points in the previous five games, Krebs has further shown growth since arriving in Buffalo.

This isn’t to say Krebs will put the NHL on notice – he’s not going to play on the team’s top line any time soon. But you can bet that Krebs will eventually solidify his spot on the second scoring line, probably alongside Dylan Cozens.

So what’s the bold prediction for Krebs this Friday? Let’s get ultra bold and say he will contribute four points, two goals and two assists. His play will continue to turn heads, proving he was a better hockey player than the Vegas Golden Knights gave him credit for.

Speaking on Krebs’ performances, there is only one thing to say: Get used to them. He will only get better.
