Knies recorded an assist in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Rangers.

Knies has earned a goal and an assist over his last three games, going plus-5 in that span. The 22-year-old doesn't hesitate to shoot -- he had 13 shots on net over his first four outings of the season before being held without a shot Saturday. Playing alongside Auston Matthews on the top line gives Knies upside, but fantasy managers may want to see him produce with some consistency before picking him up.
