"We're going through injuries, but you know what? Everyone goes through injury. So, you look around the league, there are good teams that have injuries. So, to me, that's a losing mentality. I've been in this game a long time, I've yet to have a meeting with a player that says 'you know what? Give me less opportunity'. Everybody wants more opportunity. Everybody wants a bigger role."
"Knies has been one of the team's most productive forwards in what's been an otherwise dark season for the Maple Leafs, with five goals and 22 points in 19 games on the season so far."
"Knies' injury adds to an ever-growing grocery list of injuries at the moment, currently missing Auston Matthews, Anthony Stolarz, Scott Laughton, and Chris Tanev all due to injuries."
Matthew Knies will not be in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the St. Louis Blues because of a lower-body injury. Knies has five goals and 22 points in 19 games and has been one of the team's most productive forwards this season. The injury flared up before game time after he had been skating with Max Domi and Easton Cowan. The Maple Leafs already have Auston Matthews, Anthony Stolarz, Scott Laughton, and Chris Tanev on injured reserve, and Nicolas Roy will miss a couple of games. The team has gone 0-4-1 in its last five games and seeks a win to end the streak.
