Matthew Knies Gets Massive Promotion in Toronto
The Leafs offense has been firing on all cylinders to start the season as they've found the back of the net 14 times in just three games. Granted, Auston Matthews and William Nylander account for 9 of those goals by themselves. That being said, they continue to experiment with the roster and now it looks like it is Knies's turn in the top six.
Knies practicing with Tavares and Nylander
It was reported from Leafs practice this morning that the 21-year-old rookie was practicing on a line with John Tavares and William Nylander.
"Matthew Knies has joined a line with John Tavares and William Nylander at Leafs practice today."
So far, Knies has recorded just one assist through six career regular season games dating back to last season. However, he has shown some offensive upside in the playoffs when he scored 4 points in 7 games. It seems as though Sheldon Keefe believes in the youngster, or at least he believes in giving the kid a chance to play with real star power.
