Leafs’ Knies reflects on highlight reel and builds confidence during three-game winning streak
After the game, Matthew Knies shared what went right for the Leafs in their win over the Hurricanes.
“From top to bottom, I think everyone did a great job,” Knies said. “A lot of key blocks, good special teams. Yeah, I think everyone played well.”
It was a big night for Knies, who scored one of his best goals of the year so far. He fought his way in and buried it midway through the second to give the Leafs a 3-1 lead. After the match he told how he saw it go down.
“Yeah, I just had a break, he lost a twig there,” Knies said. “So I just tried to drop my shoulder, create some space and find the back of the net.”
“We needed this,” he said. “We needed energy and we’re going to try to bring that home. I think we tend to be flat at home, but we’ll come Saturday and get some payback from these guys from Montreal.”
