Matthew Knies Sustains Upper Body Injury
4 weeks agoAccording to the team, Toronto Maple Leafs left wing Matthew Knies (upper body) sustained an injury during Wednesday's contest. Knies suffered the injury in the second frame and did not return for the third. Fantasy managers should keep a close eye on his status before their contest on Saturday against the Ottawa Senators. The 22-year-old tallied four points over his previous two contests entering Wednesday and has scored 12 points (seven goals, five helpers) over his last nine. Overall, he is on pace to smash his previous career-highs. The Maple Leafs placed left wing Max Pacioretty (upper body) on the injured reserve on Wednesday, which is another blow to the Maple Leaf offense. While sidelined, fantasy managers should expect Bobby McMann or William Nylander to move up to the top line.
