MATTHEW KNIES NEWS

Gets gift goal in OT win Knies scored a goal in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over Edmonton.

Impact Evan Bouchard attempted a breakout pass from deep in his zone and fired a perfect gift to Knies in the slot, who wired the puck past a stunned Stuart Skinner. He has a point in each of his last two games, and five points (two goals, three assists) in his last six games. We'd like to see Knies shoot a bit more -- he has just six shots in his last six games, and that will catch up to a guy, especially one with an abnormally-high 22.2 percent shooting rate.
