Knies scored an empty-net goal on two shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Knies has three goals and six assists over eight outings in March. The 23-year-old forward helped the Maple Leafs fend off a third-period push by the Wild in this contest. Knies is up to 18 goals, 57 points, 122 shots on net, 130 hits and a minus-16 rating through 65 appearances. It's worth keeping an eye on how Knies performs without Auston Matthews (knee/quad) available, as it could determine if he's able to carry his own line in future seasons.

Knies had a goal and three assists in a 6-4 win over Anaheim on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

It was Knies' second career four-point game in the NHL. It was his first since Jan. 4, 2025, when he had five points (three goals, two assists) against Boston. Knies and William Nylander (two) are the only two Maple Leafs with multiple four-point games dating back to last season. He now has 55 points (17 goals, 38 assists) in 63 games, and he's on pace to flirt with 70 points this season.

Knies scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Knies is filling a middle-six role currently, so he is unlikely to be a major factor on offense. However, he still has a spot on the first power-play unit, so there is upside to his game. He's produced 16 goals, 50 points, 114 shots on net, 120 hits and a minus-15 rating through 59 appearances this season.

Knies tallied a goal, distributed an assist, and placed three shots on net in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

Knies picked up where he left off with a two-point performance, where he snagged both contributions across a 54-second span late in the third period. Overall, the 23-year-old winger is up to 15 goals, 33 assists, 107 shots on net and 112 hits across 55 games this season. The physical forward is on pace for a new career-high in points and offers strong category coverage in fantasy, giving him strong value in most leagues moving forward.

Knies scored a goal and added a power-play assist in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Knies snapped a three-game dry spell with his two-point effort. He had three multi-point performances over 16 contests in January, totaling nine points and a minus-11 rating in a rather lackluster month. The winger is up to 14 goals, 46 points, 104 shots on net, 111 hits, 21 PIM and a minus-11 rating across 54 games this season. He's currently seeing middle-six minutes, but with his power-play role intact, Knies should continue to offer multi-category upside.

Knies scored a goal on two shots and added three hits in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

The Maple Leafs have just one win over their last eight games, but Knies has contributed a goal and five helpers in that span. The 23-year-old's physical style has been a reliable foundation for fantasy, as he consistently performs well in those aspects, even when the offense wavers. He's at 13 goals, 44 points, 96 shots on net, 109 hits and a minus-8 rating over 50 appearances this season, mainly as a top-six winger.

Knies picked up two assists in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

All of Toronto's scoring came in the second period, with Knies having a hand in tallies by John Tavares and Scott Laughton. Knies has put together a fairly productive January, delivering a goal and eight points in 12 games with 15 shots on net, 14 hits and a minus-5 rating.

Knies (lower body) is playing in Monday's home game against the Wild, Mark Masters of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Knies didn't participate in line rushes during warmups after being listed as a game-time decision, but he'll ultimately be in the lineup Monday. The left-shot winger will skate on the second line with Matias Maccelli and John Tavares. Jacob Quillan is set to be a healthy scratch versus Minnesota.

Knies (lower body) will be a game-time decision against Minnesota on Monday, Joshua Kloke of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Knies has been dealing with an issue recently, skipping practices and morning skates for maintenance, and he wasn't on the ice for Monday's session. He has accounted for 12 goals, 40 points, 90 shots on net and 99 hits in 45 appearances this season. If Knies can't play against Minnesota, Scott Laughton could occupy a top-six role in Monday's lineup, and Jacob Quillan will probably play.

Knies notched two assists in Thursday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Knies started the game on the third line, but he moved up when William Nylander (lower body) left the contest. This was Knies' first contribution on offense in five games, which explains his slip down the lineup recently. The 23-year-old is at 12 goals, 40 points (five on the power play), 89 shots on net, 98 hits and a minus-3 rating over 44 appearances. Should he reclaim a regular role in the top six, Knies will likely return to productive play.
