Peyton Krebs (born January 26, 2001) is a Canadian professional ice hockey forward for the Rochester Americans of the American Hockey League (AHL) as a prospect to the Buffalo Sabres of the National Hockey League (NHL).[1] He was drafted 17th overall by the Vegas Golden Knights in the first round of the 2019 NHL Entry Draft.[2][3][4]
Playing career[]
Junior[]
The Kootenay Ice named Krebs the team's 23rd captain. During the 2017–18 season, he finished first in the WHL in points among rookies with 54. He was fourth on the team in scoring as a 16-year-old.[5]
Krebs had 19 goals and 68 points in 64 games in the 2018–19 season. He suffered an Achilles tendon injury before the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, but was selected 17th overall by the Vegas Golden Knights.
Managing his rehabilitation into the 2019–20 season, Krebs remained with and practiced with the Golden Knights before signing a three-year, entry-level contract with Vegas on November 16, 2019.[6] Upon receiving clearance to return, Krebs was then immediately returned to the WHL, joining his newly relocated junior club the Winnipeg Ice.
