Matthew Knies picks up his first career Stanley Cup playoff point!
The Toronto Maple Leafs rookie comes up huge for his team against the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 3.
Toronto Maple Leafs rookie Matthew Knies was initially held out of the Leafs opening round series against the Tampa Bay Lightning, but now that he has been given an opportunity the rookie forward has made his mark.
Knies helped the Leafs get off to a strong start on Saturday night when he played a pivotal role in the game's opening goal, setting up teammate Noel Acciari in the slot after an odd man rush from the Leafs. Acciari would make no mistake on the play, beating Lightning goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy to give the Leafs a 1-0 lead.
Knies looked thrilled to have picked up his first playoff point, but the reaction from his teammates suggest they may have been even more excited than the youngster was himself.
