A scary scene has emerged at Maple Leafs practice as rookie forward Matthew Knies who has been playing on the top line with Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner had to be helped off the ice after suffering a bad injury.
Knies could be forced to miss Thursday's matchup against the Islanders. If the 21-year-old Knies can't play, it could mean a promotion for Tyler Bertuzzi, Max Domi or Calle Jarnkrok to a first-line role.
The 6-foot-3 rookie has eight goals and 15 points in 36 games this season.
Stay tuned for more updates.
