Knies (leg) has not been ruled out against the Islanders on Thursday, Mark Masters of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Knies appears to have avoided a serious injury after being helped off the ice at practice Wednesday. If he suits up versus New York, the 21-year-old Arizona native should maintain his place on the top line with Auston Matthews. Despite that plum assignment, Knies remains stuck in a six-game goalless streak during which he's recorded a mere seven shots.
