Maple Leafs' Matthew Knies: Day-to-day but without timeline
Knies (upper body) was labeled day-to-day by head coach Craig Berube but doesn't have a clear timeline to return, David Alter of The Hockey News reports Friday.
Knies should probably be considered a long shot to play in Saturday's matchup with Ottawa at this point. Prior to getting hurt, the 22-year-old winger managed four points over his last three outings while averaging 17:24 of ice time. With Knies on the shelf, Bobby McMann looks poised to take a first-line role alongside Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner.

Maple Leafs' Matthew Knies: Injured Wednesday
Knies (upper body) won't return to Wednesday's game versus the Blue Jackets.
Knies was hurt late in the second period and ruled out shortly after the start of the third. He took a hard hit on his last shift that led to his injury. Knies has earned 12 points over 11 contests in January, so his potential absence would be a big one for the Maple Leafs if he can't play Saturday in Ottawa.

Maple Leafs' Matthew Knies: Massive three-point effort
Knies had two goals and an assist in Monday's 5-3 win over Tampa Bay.
When Knies steps into his power, Knies really steps into his power, and it's impressive. He has 18 goals, 31 points and 80 shots in 46 games. Knies is just four points from tying his rookie scoring mark, and he already has set a new high for goals. He's thriving in Craig Berube's north-south style, and a 35-goal season is within reach.

Maple Leafs' Matthew Knies: Sets up empty-netter
Knies notched a shorthanded assist, five hits, two blocked shots and two PIM in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Canadiens.
Knies set up David Kampf for a shorthanded empty-netter to complete an emphatic stretch of seven unanswered tallies for the Maple Leafs. The 22-year-old Knies had been held off the scoresheet in the previous three contests, which has started to put his top-line status in danger. The winger is at 16 goals, 12 helpers, 76 shots on net, 106 hits, 22 PIM, 22 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 45 appearances this season.

Maple Leafs' Matthew Knies: Three-game, five-goal streak
Knies scored the game-winning goal Tuesday in a 3-2 victory over the Flyers.
Knies' goal gave him five during a three-game goal streak (seven points) after he went nine without a goal. The young wing is bursting with confidence. He's playing alongside Auston Matthews, and it's a matter of the superstar making the kid, at least right now. Knies is not as talented as his current exploits. But we'll take these goals 100 times out of 100.

Maple Leafs' Matthew Knies: Scores again Sunday
Knies scored a goal, added two PIM and levied five hits in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Flyers.
Knies didn't replicate his three-goal, two-assist performance from Saturday, but he looks to be much more comfortable in the lineup with Auston Matthews back in action. The 22-year-old Knies is a natural fit alongside his superstar teammate, which should lead to steady production going forward. Overall, Knies has 15 goals -- matching his total from 80 regular-season games in 2023-24 -- while adding 10 assists, 69 shots on net, 83 hits, 18 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 39 appearances.

Maple Leafs' Matthew Knies: Five-point outburst includes hattie
Knies scored three goals and had five points in a 6-4 win over the Bruins on Saturday.
What a night. Knies scored his first NHL hat trick. In the process, he ended his point and goal droughts of five and nine games, respectively. Not surprisingly, Knies' offensive explosion coincided with the return of linemate Auston Matthews, who had missed six games because of an upper-body injury. Get the young winger back in your lineup. He won't soon have another five-point game, but he will generate offense playing alongside one of the NHL's best players.

Maple Leafs' Matthew Knies: Mired in goal drought
Knies' goal drought stands at eight games after he was held off the score sheet Tuesday in a 3-1 win over the Islanders.
Knies appeared to have snapped the slump early in the second period, but New York used a coach's challenge for goalie interference, and the call on the ice was overturned. Knies still seems to have coach Craig Berube's trust, as he plays mostly on one of the top two lines and gets first-unit power-play time. He also continues to lay hits. Knies, more than any other Leaf, might be the most affected by the absence of center Auston Matthews (upper body). His game is developing, but he still can't carry a line on his own.

Maple Leafs' Matthew Knies: First goal in six games
Knies scored a goal in a 4-2 loss to the Red Wings on Saturday.
He tipped a Mitch Marner shot past Ville Husso early in the third period to tie the game 2-2. Knies potted his first goal in six games. He's flirting with a 30-goal, 50-point pace this season, though his shooting percentage still hasn't stabilized. Knies has been successful on 22.9 percent of his shots, but he fired at 13.0 percent in his rookie season. Being lucky is good, but even that runs out.

Maple Leafs' Matthew Knies: Deposits empty-netter
Knies scored an empty-net goal on two shots, added three hits and went plus-2 in Monday's 4-1 win over the Blackhawks.
Knies has three points over two games since he returned from an upper-body injury. He's immediately reclaimed a top-line role and is performing at that level as well. For the season, the 22-year-old winger has 10 goals, five assists, 40 shots on net, 47 hits and a plus-5 rating over 22 appearances.

Maple Leafs' Matthew Knies: Big game in return from injury
Knies scored a goal and added an assist in a 5-3 win over Tampa Bay.
Knies missed two games with an upper-body injury before returning to action in Saturday's win. He opened the scoring in the first period when he redirected a puck past Andrei Vasilevskiy. Knies was strong on the puck, and that's great news for fantasy managers. He's found another gear in 2024-25, compiling nine goals and 14 points through 21 appearances.

Maple Leafs' Matthew Knies: Ready to rock
Knies (upper body) will be activated from injured reserve ahead of his return to the lineup Saturday against Tampa Bay, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.
Knies will play on the top line and the first power-play unit after missing two games. He has collected eight goals, 12 points, 36 shots on net and 44 hits through 20 appearances this season. Alex Steeves will be a healthy scratch versus the Lightning due to Knies' return.

Maple Leafs' Matthew Knies: Close to returning
Knies (upper body) might be available for Saturday's game against Tampa Bay, per Mark Masters of TSN.
Knies skated on the first power-play unit and top line during Friday's practice, David Alter of The Hockey News reports. The 22-year-old forward has missed the Maple Leafs' past two games due to the injury. He has eight goals and 12 points in 20 appearances in 2024-25.

Maple Leafs' Matthew Knies: On injured reserve
Knies (upper body) was put on injured reserve Friday, retroactive to Nov. 20.
Knies has eight goals and 12 points over 20 appearances in 2024-25. The Maple Leafs were already missing forwards Max Domi (lower body), Calle Jarnkrok (groin), David Kampf (lower body), Max Pacioretty (lower body), Ryan Reaves (suspension) and, of course, Auston Matthews (upper body), so Toronto is looking rather thin up front. Until some of those players start returning, Bobby McMann, Nicholas Robertson and Pontus Holmberg might be deployed regularly in a top-six capacity. Fraser Minten and Nikita Grebenkin also made their season and NHL debut, respectively, Wednesday and figure to be part of the third line until the Maple Leafs start getting healthy.

Maple Leafs' Matthew Knies: Not playing Sunday
Head coach Craig Berube said Friday that Knies (upper body) is improving but will not play Sunday versus Utah, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.
Knies left Wednesday's game versus Vegas after taking a big hit, courtesy of Zach Whitecloud. The 22-year-old Knies has eight goals and 12 points in 20 games this season. It's not yet clear when the Maple Leafs expect him to return, but his next chance to do so will be Wednesday against Florida.

Maple Leafs' Matthew Knies: Still being evaluated
Head coach Craig Berube said Thursday that Knies (upper body) is still being evaluated but is "feeling okay," Dave McCarthy of NHL.com reports.
Knies exited Wednesday's game against the Golden Knights due to an upper-body injury, and the severity of the issue isn't yet known. However, it's encouraging that the 22-year-old was feeling better a day after sustaining his injury, and he should be considered day-to-day for now. Whether he'll be available for Sunday's game against Utah remains to be seen.

Maple Leafs' Matthew Knies: Exits Wednesday's game
Knies (upper body) won't return to Wednesday's game versus the Golden Knights.
Knies was injured on a Zach Whitecloud hit in the second period. The 22-year-old Knies had two goals and three assists over his previous six games before being held scoreless prior to his exit Wednesday. An update on his status should be available prior to the Maple Leafs' next game Sunday versus Utah.

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.
