NHL 2025-26 Shockers: Game-Changing Trades and Unexpected Stars Set to Rewrite the Season
Toronto Maple Leafs
Matthew Knies will lead the NHL in short-handed goals
Here’s the thing: Knies has never scored even one short-handed goal in his NHL career. But he’s about to see his opportunity on the Leafs’ penalty kill jump in Mitch Marner’s absence. He’ll kill penalties with Auston Matthews this season. Knies has a way of getting himself behind opposing defenses, and he’s a pretty good finisher in those spots, too. It took six goals to lead in this department last season. I think Knies has a shot. — Jonas Siegel
