Knies had a goal and an assist in a 6-3 win over Calgary on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

He has two consecutive two-point games under his belt and eight points (four goals, four assists) in his last five games. Knies hit the 20-goal mark for the first time in his career, and his 35 points equal his career mark from last season. The leap forward in his game is obvious -- he hit 35 points in 80 games last season, but pulled it off in 49 this year.

Knies (upper body) put up a goal and added an assist Saturday in a 4-3 win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

He had been out a couple games due to injury, but didn't skip a beat stepping back onto the top line. Knies is just two points from his career mark of 35 points. But his shooting percentage is 22.9, which is significantly higher than his 13.0 from last season. Knies needs to be back in your lineup, irrespective of any concerns around that shooting percentage.

Knies (upper body) will be back in the lineup in Edmonton on Saturday. according to David Alter of The Hockey News.

EDGE Analysis

Knies missed only a pair of games due to the injury. The 22-year-old is expected to return to the top line, alongside Auston Matthews. Knies has 18 goals, 13 assists and 109 hits over 47 games this season.

Knies (upper body) is potentially an option to play versus the Oilers on Saturday, Mark Masters of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Knies looks set to return after a minimal stint on injured reserve. He'd likely slot back onto the top line after missing the previous two games. With John Tavares (lower body) also expected back, the Maple Leafs will need to make a couple of moves to free up roster spots.

Knies (upper body) was designated for injured reserve Wednesday, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

Knies will switch places with Max Pacioretty (upper body), who was activated off IR prior to Wednesday's clash with Minnesota. At this point, the 22-year-old Knies may have to wait until after the 4 Nations Face-Off to get back into the lineup, though no official timeline has been announced.

Knies (upper body) might be able to return Saturday versus Edmonton, according to Darren Dreger of TSN on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Knies is expected to miss his second straight game when the Maple Leafs face Minnesota on Wednesday, but that might be the extent of his time on the shelf due to his upper-body issue. He has 18 goals and 31 points over 47 outings in 2024-25. When healthy, Knies could play on the top line alongside Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner, which would push Bobby McMann off that unit.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Knies (upper body) won't return to Wednesday's game versus the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Knies had two goals and an assist in Monday's 5-3 win over Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Knies notched a shorthanded assist, five hits, two blocked shots and two PIM in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

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.
