Knies has been battling through an undisclosed injury for parts of the season, causing him to miss some games and practices. The 23-year-old wasa game-time decision for Monday's game against the Minnesota Wild. He has struggled a little offensively lately, scoring only four points (1G / 3A) in his last eight games, but is still having a tremendous season, with 40 points (12G / 28A) in 45 games.
