Gordie Howe Hat Trick in return Knies (illness) scored a goal and added an assist in a 7-0 win over Pittsburgh.
Impact Knies had missed two games due to illness, but looked none the worse for wear when he roared in on Tristan Jarry early in the first frame, held off a defender and lifted a backhand over the netminder's glove from the top of the crease. Knies actually delivered a somewhat rare Gordie Howe Hat Trick on Saturday. He found Pens defender John Ludvig in the first and had an assist on Max Domi's second period goal. Knies is fifth on the NHL rookie goal list (tied with Connor Zary with seven) and is on a 40-point pace.

Expected back Saturday Knies (illness) will likely rejoin the Leafs on Saturday against Pittsburgh, per David Alter of The Hockey News.
Impact Knies had missed Toronto's last two games with an illness, but it appears he's on track to return Saturday against the Penguins. Knies has six goals and 11 points through 25 games this season. The 21-year-old rookie will likely return to a top-line role alongside Auston Matthews and William Nylander.

Ruled out again Knies (illness) will not be available versus Columbus on Thursday, Luke Fox of Sportsnet reports.
Impact Knies skated Thursday morning but won't be ready to suit up against the Blue Jackets. The 21-year-old winger is currently mired in a six-game goal drought during which he has registered just six shots while recording a lone assist. Still, once cleared to play the youngster could be thrust back into a top-six role while seeing opportunities with the No. 2 power-play unit.

Won't play Tuesday Knies (illness) won't be in the lineup Tuesday versus the Rangers.
Impact Knies has accounted for six goals, 11 points, 33 shots on net and 47 hits in 25 games this season. Noah Gregor will play in the top line with Auston Matthews due to Knies' absence.

Third goal in five games Knies scored a goal Saturday in a 3-2 loss to Pittsburgh.
Impact Knies drove the net and punched in a rebound in the first period that put the Leafs up 2-1. It was his third goal in five games and sixth in 19 this season. Knies is seeing time alongside first-line studs, Auston Matthews and Mitchell Marner, and he doesn't look out of place. The 21-year-old is on the rise.

Records three points Monday Knies collected a goal and two assists in a 6-5 overtime win over Tampa Bay on Monday.
Impact Knies has three goals and seven points in 12 contests this year. That's not a bad start for the 21-year-old forward, but his offense is almost entirely due to two three-point games -- weirdly enough both against Tampa Bay. His other came Oct. 21 in Toronto's 4-3 overtime victory over the Lightning. That level of inconsistency is bound to frustrate fantasy managers, but Knies does have a lot of potential and has gotten looks in a top-six capacity.

Posts power-play helper Knies recorded a power-play assist and three hits in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Stars.
Impact Knies dropped down to the third line for this game. He helped out on Tyler Bertuzzi's third-period marker as the Maple Leafs' second power-play unit made some noise. Knies saw 52 seconds of power-play time Thursday after drawing just 10 seconds with the man advantage over the first six games. He has four points, nine shots on net, eight hits, six PIM and a plus-1 rating through seven outings while mainly working in a middle-six role.

Short circuits Bolts to force OT Knies scored twice in the third period and added an assist Saturday in a 4-3 overtime win over the Lightning.
Impact Knies' goals tied the game and forced overtime. They were his first regular-season NHL goals. He scored in the postseason last year, and interestingly enough, seven of Knies' eight NHL points have come against the Bolts when you add in those playoff games.
