Toronto Maple Leafs' forward Matthew Knies breaks silence on his post-injury performance 'dip(Source: Imagn)
On Tuesday, Toronto Maple Leafs forward Matthew Knies spoke about his dip in performance after returning from an injury. He missed two games after a hit from Zach Whitecloud of the Vegas Golden Knights in November. Knies came back strong with a goal and an assist against the Tampa Bay Lightning, but his play has slowed since then.
“My game has dipped. It’s definitely not as physical as I want it to be…" Knies said, via Leafslatest.
Knies said he hasn’t been as tough to play against and needs to find new ways to get energy. He talked about Brady Tkachuk of the Ottawa Senators and is focused on playing a similar game.
"It’s not an easy thing to come back from. You have to find energy in different ways—little things that get you out of bed in the morning and excited to come to the rink."
