Firing Krueger comes 12 days after general manager Kevyn Adams challenged the team and said he was evaluating everyone, including Krueger.
The Sabres (6-18-4) have lost 12 straight and 16 of their last 18. They have been outscored 49-19 during the losing streak and are last in their division and league with a .286 winning percentage.
