ATTACKERS
Matthew Knies, TOR (vs VAN) – You will say that it helps to complete a trio with two players like Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner, but you still have to make them, the points! Knies has gotten on the scoresheet in each of his last four games, a stretch in which he has eight points, including five goals. He also started this streak a week ago with his first five-point game (three goals, two assists) in his career in a victory against the Boston Bruins. Be careful, though, the Knies-Matthews-Marner trio had a disastrous night against the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday, posting a combined differential of -17. All three players will want to redeem themselves at home, and they will have the chance to do so against the Canucks who arrive in Toronto having lost their last four games (0-2-2).
Dylan Holloway, STL (vs CBJ) – The young 23-year-old forward has been on a roll since December 23 with 13 points (five goals, eight assists) in eight games. Holloway will aim for a point in a sixth consecutive duel (two goals, six assists in his last five games) as the Blues welcome the Columbus Blue Jackets. Holloway is used on the second line with Brayden Schenn and Jordan Kyrou and he also gets playing time on the power play.
