Toronto Maple Leafs forward Matthew Knies is listed as day-to-day with an upper-body injury, head coach Craig Berube confirmed Friday after practice. Nick Alberga of The Leafs Nation was the first to report the day-to-day timeline.

Matthew Knies was injured in the second period of Toronto's game Wednesday against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Knies struggled to get up from the ice after colliding with Blue Jackets forward Kirill Marchenko and did not return to the game. Knies was ruled out with what the Maple Leafs called an upper-body injury.

The Toronto Maple Leafs were down a forward for the third period against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Knies exited the game late in the second period. He collided with Blue Jackets forward Kirill Marchenko attempting to throw a hit.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are playing incredible hockey in the 2024-25 season. The Maple Leafs had struggled a bit, but have since rattled off three straight wins. Unfortunately, it appears the team is on track to lose Wednesday night to the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Earlier on Wednesday, the Toronto Maple Leafs placed veteran forward Max Pacioretty on the injured reserve list, retroactive to Jan. 18. That’s why the Leafs had to make a move and therefore recalled Jacob Quillan from the AHL’s Toronto Marlies in a corresponding move.
