Watch: Leafs prospect Matthew Knies lands devastating hit in the first game of his sophomore season
Leafs prospect Matthew Knies is off to the races and has already notched a goal and an assist in the first game of his NCAA sophomore season.
The 19-year-old was buzzing all night, but his impacts weren't only on the scoreboard. Knies was also relentless on the forecheck and very physical. Take this 2nd period hit for example.
Both Knies and the Leafs are hopeful that he'll be ready to make the jump to the NHL at the end of his NCAA season in the spring. It's going to be a lot of fun watching him lay the boom like that in the NHL!
