  • Maple Leafs' Matthew Knies: Gets gift goal in OT win

    Knies scored a goal in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over Edmonton.

    Evan Bouchard attempted a breakout pass from deep in his zone and fired a perfect gift to Knies in the slot, who wired the puck past a stunned Stuart Skinner. He has a point in each of his last two games, and five points (two goals, three assists) in his last six appearances. We'd like to see Knies shoot a bit more -- he has just six shots in his past six outings, and that will catch up to a guy, especially one with an abnormally-high 22.2 percent shooting rate.

  • Maple Leafs' Matthew Knies: Pockets helper

    Knies logged an assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Capitals.

    Knies set up a William Nylander tally in the third period. Knies also had a goal overturned in the contest. The 22-year-old winger has four points over his last five contests and continues to see top-line usage and power-play time. He's up to seven goals, four assists, 35 shots on net, 43 hits and eight PIM over 18 games in what's shaping up to be a breakout campaign.

  • Maple Leafs' Matthew Knies: Growth in game on full display

    Knies had a goal and an assist in a 4-0 victory over Boston on Tuesday. Both came on the power play.

    Knies was parked in front of the net in the third, and he deflected a shot from William Nylander at the top of the crease. He has seven goals, two assists, 35 hits and 32 shots in 14 games this season. Those seven goals put him second on the team goal list behind William Nylander (10) -- yes, he's currently ahead of Auston Matthews. Knies has seized the opportunity to show off his north-south skills to gain the confidence of new coach Craig Berube, and his game has taken a big step forward.

  • Maple Leafs' Matthew Knies: Five goals in last six games

    Knies scored a goal Thursday in a 4-1 win over Seattle.

    It was an easy tap-in from the slot on a touch pass from Mitch Marner. Knies has goals in three straight games and five in his past six games. His 22.2 shooting percentage is high, so expect a slow down. However, Knies is in a prime spot with Marner and Auston Matthews, so the power winger is going to score. Keep him rolling.

  • Maple Leafs' Matthew Knies: Goals in consecutive games

    Knies scored a goal on three shots and added three hits in Monday's 6-4 win over the Jets.

    Knies has scored four times over the last five games, and he has a goal in each of the last two contests. The 22-year-old winger has seized his opportunity on the top line, and he's also seeing 2:11 per game on the power play. He's at five tallies, one assist, 25 shots on net, 20 hits and a plus-2 rating through 10 outings in 2024-25.

  • Maple Leafs' Matthew Knies: Stays warm with goal

    Knies scored a goal on two shots, added three hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Bruins.

    Knies opened the scoring 35 ticks into the second period. The winger has scored three times over his last four games, and he's up to four goals, one assist, 22 shots on net, 17 hits and a plus-2 rating over nine outings this season. As long as he sticks on a line with Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner, Knies has the potential to enjoy a breakout campaign. That said, Toronto is off to a mediocre 4-4-1 start, and head coach Craig Berube may opt to give other forwards a look on the top line at some point.

  • Maple Leafs' Matthew Knies: Scores in Monday's win

    Knies scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Monday's 5-2 win over the Lightning.

    Knies has had more success recently, with all three of his points coming over the last four games. The 22-year-old winger continues to see top-line usage at even strength, which gives him a high floor for production. He's notched 15 shots on net, 10 hits and a plus-6 rating over six appearances.

  • Maple Leafs' Matthew Knies: Earns helper Saturday

    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.

  • Maple Leafs' Matthew Knies: Shows off hands with snipe

    Knies scored his first goal of the season in a 4-2 win over Pittsburgh on Saturday.

    It was a pretty down-on-one-knee wrist shot that beat Joel Blomqvist clean early in the second frame to push the Leafs up 2-1. Knies could have a career year offensively while skating alongside Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner at even strength. Michael Bunting surpassed the 60-point plateau in 2021-22 while skating with Matthews, and Knies is more naturally talented than Bunts.

  • Maple Leafs' Matthew Knies: Contributes helper Thursday

    Knies produced an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and three blocked shots in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Bruins in Game 6.

    Knies has picked his offense up in recent games, earning all three of his postseason points over the last four contests. He's been in a top-six role since Auston Matthews (illness) exited Toronto's lineup. Knies has added 12 shots on net, 22 hits, nine blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through six playoff outings.

  • Maple Leafs' Matthew Knies: Pots OT winner in Game 5

    Knies scored the game-winning goal Tuesday in a 2-1 overtime victory over the Bruins in Game 5.

    The 21-year-old winger pounced on a rebound early in the first OT period after John Tavares had driven the Boston net and tried to jam home the puck. It was the second goal of the playoffs for Knies, but those represent his only two points in five games. If Auston Matthews (illness) isn't able to return for Thursday's Game 6, Knies may have to come up big again in order for the Leafs to avoid elimination again.

  • Maple Leafs' Matthew Knies: Scores again Monday

    Knies scored a goal on his lone shot in Monday's 3-2 overtime win over the Penguins.

    Knies got Toronto on the board early in the second period, directing a T.J. Brodie feed past Alex Nedeljkovic to tie the game 1-1. The 21-year-old Knies now has three goals over his last four games and points in six of the last seven contests. Knies has emerged as a legitimate scoring threat in a middle-six role -- he's up to 15 goals and 35 points through 75 games this season.

  • Maple Leafs' Matthew Knies: Two points vs. Florida

    Knies picked up a goal and an assist in Monday's 6-4 win over the Panthers.

    Knies set up Nick Robertson on a breakaway to open the scoring late in the first period before extending Toronto's lead to 5-1 in the second, directing a Pontus Holmberg feed past Sergei Bobrovsky. The 21-year-old Knies has points in four straight contests, totaling a goal and four assists in that span. He's up to 13 goals and 33 points through 72 games this season while holding down a middle-six role.

  • Maple Leafs' Matthew Knies: Back from minors

    Knies, who exited Thursday's game due to an undisclosed injury, has been recalled from AHL Toronto on Friday and is expected to play Saturday versus Montreal, per Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun.

    Knies was briefly sent to the minors Friday in a paper transaction. He has 11 goals, 26 points, 33 PIM and 127 hits in 61 NHL outings in 2023-24.

  • Maple Leafs' Matthew Knies: Reassigned to AHL

    Knies, who exited Thursday's game because of an undisclosed injury, was reassigned to AHL Toronto on Friday, per Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun. It's believed this move is merely a paper transaction.

    Knies has 11 goals, 36 points, 33 PIM and 127 hits in 61 NHL contests this season. Even if he is just temporarily being moved to the minors for cap reasons or to maintain his eligibility for the AHL playoffs, Knies being reassigned indicates that he's healthy enough to play. It wouldn't be surprising to see him recalled before Saturday's game against the Canadiens.

  • Maple Leafs' Matthew Knies: Exits Thursday's contest

    Knies exited Thursday's game against Boston because of an undisclosed injury, according to Joshua Kloke of The Athletic. However, it's believed that his injury is not serious.

    Knies logged just 3:18 of ice time before exiting. He entered the contest with 11 goals, 26 points, 31 PIM and 129 hits in 60 appearances this season. If Knies is unavailable for Saturday's match against Montreal, then Pontus Holmberg might draw into the lineup.
