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.

Knies had a goal and an assist in a 4-1 win over Florida on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Knies notched the winner just 42 seconds into the second period when he deflected a shot past Sergei Bobrovsky from the slot. It was his 12th goal and second game-winner of the season. Knies continues to pace toward a career season with 38 points in 39 games so far. He has caught fire of late, putting up points in six of his last seven games (five goals, four assists).

Knies picked up an assist Thursday in a 6-5 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
The assist extended his personal five-game, seven-point streak (four goals, three assists). He has 16 shots on the streak. Knies has 36 points (11 goals, 25 assists) in 37 games this season. He has put a rough patch (one assist in eight games) early in December behind him. When you strip that stretch out, Knies has a remarkable 35 points in 29 games. The breakout is real.

Knies scored a goal in a 4-0 win over New Jersey on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Knies has goals in three straight games (four goals) and is on a four-game, six-point scoring streak. He also picked up seven PIM, including a rare five-minute major in a fight with Nico Hischier. Knies has 11 goals, 24 assists, 15 PIM, 90 hits and 79 shots in 36 games this season.

Knies scored a power-play goal on three shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Knies' offense is coming back to life with three goals and two assists over his last five games. He's earned two of those tallies on the power play, his first contributions in that situation since Oct. 28. The winger is up to 10 goals, 34 points, 76 shots on net, 87 hits and a minus-2 rating over 35 appearances. Given Knies is shooting a fairly efficient 13.2 percent, though down from last year's 19.1 percent success rate, the winger may benefit from being a little more selfish with the puck.
