Knies scored a goal in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to Ottawa in Game 4.
EDGE Analysis
It was his third goal of the postseason. Knies bulled his way through two defenders after chipping the puck through them, and he broke in on Linus Ullmark and finished a deke over the netminder's blocker. Knies has three goals, six shots and seven hits in four games this postseason.

Knies scored a goal in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
His goal came when Knies fired a centering pass toward the net that deflected off Shane Pinto's skate in front and trickled over the goal line on the power play. It was his second goal this postseason; both snipes came on the power play. Knies has looked sharp this postseason, but we'd like to see him fire the puck a bit more. He has just four shots in three games.

Knies scored a power-play goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Senators in Game 1.
EDGE Analysis
Knies cashed in when the Senators were unable to control the puck in front of their next in the third period. The goal was the last one of the game. Knies' physical playing style sets him up well to be an impact player in the postseason. He had a strong regular season with 29 goals, 29 assists, 15 power-play points and 182 hits over 78 appearances while mainly playing on the top line.

Knies registered two assists and went plus-3 in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Knies set up Auston Matthews on the opening tally and also helped out on Scott Laughton's game-winner in overtime. Knies has four goals and five assists over eight contests in April, so he looks ready to have a breakout on a bigger stage in the postseason. He put up an impressive 29 goals, 29 assists, 152 shots on net, 182 hits and a plus-7 rating over 78 regular-season outings.

Knies scored three goals, one on the power play and another the overtime winner, in Wednesday's 4-3 victory over the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
It was the 22-year-old's second career hat trick, as the Maple Leafs' top line of Knies, Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner combined for all four of the team's goals and nine total points. With four games left on Toronto's regular-season schedule, Knies needs one more tally to reach 30 for the first time in his career.

Knies logged an assist, six shots on goal, four hits and two PIM in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Knies has a goal and six assists over his last six outings after helping out on an Auston Matthews tally late in the third period. The 22-year-old Knies is up to 26 goals, 26 helpers, 139 shots on net, 178 hits, 41 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 72 contests overall. As long as he stays on the top line, he'll be a strong all-around option for fantasy managers.

Knies scored a goal, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Knies has six points over his last five outings. The 22-year-old's tally ended a five-game goal drought, and it was the game-winner. For the season, the winger has 26 goals (five game-winners), 51 points, 133 shots on net, 174 hits, 38 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 71 appearances. He continues to serve as a power winger on the Maple Leafs' top line.

Knies logged two power-play assists, three shots on goal and three hits in Thursday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
This was Knies' second two-assist game in a row, as well as his third multi-point outing in March. The 22-year-old has racked up three goals and eight assists over 13 contests this month. Knies continues to thrive on the top power-play unit, and he's up to 49 points (14 on the power play), 126 shots, 166 hits, 37 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 68 appearances this season.

Knies picked up two assists in a 7-2 win over the Flyers on Tuesday. He also delivered six hits.
EDGE Analysis
One of the helpers came on the power play. It was Knies' first multi-point game since March 2. Still, he has 11 points, including four on the power play, in his last 14 games. Knies continues to pad his offensive totals, and he has 25 goals, 22 assists, 123 shots and 163 hits. All are career marks, except hits. But Knies only needs six to tie his best (169).

Knies scored a goal in a 4-3 win over the Rangers on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
His goal stood as the winner. Knies roared off the bench and William Nylander found him from behind the net. He scored from between the circles. Knies has 25 goals, 20 assists and 119 shots -- all career highs -- in 65 games this season. And he's on pace for a possible 30-goal season. Last season, there were just 47 NHLers who hit that mark. Knies' future potential is manifesting itself quickly. He has just 148 regular-season games under his belt.
