"Matthew Knies was absent from the morning skate. Knies has recorded 12 goals and 38 points in 43 games this season, but hasn't registered a point in his past four games. If Knies is able to play, he may be placed on the top line with Auston Matthews and Max Domi, while Bobby McMann drops down to the fourth line. McMann skated with Matthews and Domi during Thursday's morning skate."
"Knies has recorded 12 goals and 38 points in 43 games this season, but hasn't registered a point in his past four games. 'I really believe that he's attacking in the middle of the ice, he's demanding the puck in the middle of the ice, and he's doing a great job using his size and speed going through people,' Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube said of Knies, prior to Saturday's game against the Vancouver Canucks."
"Roy is making his return to Vegas after being acquired in the Mitch Marner trade. The 28-year-old won a Stanley Cup with the Golden Knights in 2023, posting three goals and 11 points in 22 playoff games during their title run. Maple Leafs' projected lines vs. Golden Knights Bobby McMann-Auston Matthews-Max Domi Matias Maccelli-John Tavares-William Nylander Easton Cowan-Nicolas Roy-Nick Robertson"
Matthew Knies missed the morning skate after recording 12 goals and 38 points in 43 games this season and going four games without a point. If available, Knies may join Auston Matthews and Max Domi on the top line with Bobby McMann moving to the fourth line. Knies is attacking the middle of the ice, demanding the puck there, and using his size and speed to go through opponents. Nick Robertson participated in the morning skate after missing a game with a lower-body injury sustained while blocking a shot and was placed on a line with Easton Cowan and Nicolas Roy. Nicolas Roy returns to Vegas after being acquired in the Mitch Marner trade and won a Stanley Cup with the Golden Knights in 2023. The report includes a full set of projected lines and lists Joseph Woll as the projected starter.
