BREAKING: Toronto Maple Leafs Are Promoting Matthew Knies

The Toronto Maple Leafs are facing a four-game losing streak, and it seems Sheldon Keefe is making changes to the lineup to address the slump.

After trying out several players to fill the void left by Matthew Bunting on the top line with Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner, it appears the Leafs have turned to rookie Matthew Knies as a genuine option on the left wing.

Recent practice lineups suggest that Knies has earned a spot on the top line, a significant promotion from his previous role in the bottom-six.

Knies has already shown promise with two goals and two assists for a total of 4 points in 11 games. If he can maintain this level of play, the Maple Leafs may have stumbled upon a potent top line, potentially making it one of the best in the NHL.
