Knies appeared to hit his head on the ice after taking a heavy hit from Zach Whitecloud midway through the second period and was unable to return. Knies joins a crowded injury list in Toronto that already includes six other forwards.
Minten was the second-round pick, 38th overall, of the Maple Leafs in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. The 20-year-old made his NHL debut last season, going scoreless in four games with the Maple Leafs. He has four points (2G / 2A) in five games with the Marlies (AHL) this season. Minten will draw into the Maple Leafs lineup to replace David Kampf (lower body).
After missing the first six weeks of the season, Hakanpaa will have a rest-day on Wednesday as he acclimates to the workload. The 32-year-old Hakanpaa is averaging 14:05 time-on-ice through two games this season, recording four blocks and one hit.
The Maple Leafs have won five of their previous six and will turn to Woll in the crease on Wednesday against the Vegas Golden Knights. Woll has been serviceable in limited action this season, posting a 2.40 GAA and .902 SV% in five games (3-2-0), but has won two straight with a solid .917 SV%. The Maple Leaf enter the action on Wednesday as -130 home favorites against a Golden Knights squad that has lost three of their past five (2-2-1).
With Max Domi (lower body) placed on Injured Reserve, the Maple Leafs have recalled Grebyonkin from the Marlies (AHL) to make his NHL debut. The 21-year-old Grebyonkin was a fifth-round pick of the Maple Leafs in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft. He is playing in his first professional season in North America and has 10 points (4G / 6A) in 13 games in the AHL with the Marlies.
Benoit has not played the previous two games but will likely return to the lineup on Wednesday against the Vegas Golden Knights.

The 29-year-old Domi has struggled with the Maple Leaf this season, going without a point in 13 straight games. The Maple Leafs have recalled Nikita Grebyonkin from the Toronto Marlies (AHL).
Kampf is battling a lower-body injury and will not be eligible to return until, at earliest, November 24th against the Utah Hockey Club.

Matthews will mis a seventh straight game due to his upper-body injury. With games so few and far between for the Maple Leafs, it's possible they are just taking a cautious approach to his return to the lineup. The 27-year-old Matthews was off to a slower-than-usual start to the 2024-25 campaign but had six points (2G / 4A) in his last five games.
Jarnkrok has not played this season and will have to stay sidelined after suffering a setback in his recovery from a lower-body injury, ultimately undergoing sports hernia surgery. The 33-year-old Jarnkrok had provided a steady dose of secondary offense in two seasons with the Maple Leafs, scoring 60 points (30G / 30A) in 125 combined games, but unfortunately, he will be out for several months.
Reaves will be sidelined for the next five games, serving a suspension for an illegal check to the head against Darnell Nurse in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Edmonton Oilers. Reaves was issued a five-minute major penalty on the play. The 37-year-old Reaves has one point (0G / 1), 23 penalty minutes, and 44 hits in 16 games this season.
Myers hasn't played since October 26th, so he'll go to the Toronto Marlies to get some game action in. With Jani Hakanpaa now off IR, it could be a while before Myers gets back in the Maple Leafs' lineup.
The Maple Leafs will turn to Woll on Wednesday looking to rebound from a disappointing 3-0 defeat at the hands of the Senators on Tuesday. Woll is coming off a strong performance against the Habs on Saturday, allowing just one goal on 21 shots enroute to a 4-1 victory. The 26-year-old netminder owns a 2-2-0 record and a .905 SV% in four appearances this season. Woll and the Maple Leafs enter action in Washington as slight underdogs at +120.
