Craig Berube on the Leafs running a five-forward power play unit: "I really like Knies at the net, and I really like Tavares in the bumper... It's about making it all work"

Berube expressed enthusiasm about Auston Matthews' return, noting, "It is great. Captain of the team. We missed him. He has been out a while, so it is great to have him back." Matthews' energy and skating were highlighted.

On Matthew Knies, Berube said, "Good - really good. It's positive. Hopefully, he'll be in tomorrow. We'll see, but the signs all point in that direction. He looked really good, too." This emphasizes Knies' readiness.

Berube addressed Bobby McMann's situation, stating, "It is still day-to-day, lower body. Timeline is hard for me to tell you exactly, because it's about how he's going to feel day-to-day, right?" This shows uncertainty about his return.

Discussing the five-forward power play, Berube remarked, "The five forwards looked really good before with the puck movement and quickness of it all. I really like Knies at the net, and I really like JT in the bumper." This signals a strategic move.
