Knies appeared to hit his head on the ice after taking a heavy hit from Zach Whitecloud midway through the second period and was unable to return. Knies joins a crowded injury list in Toronto that already includes six other forwards.
The Maple Leafs have won five of their previous six and will turn to Woll in the crease on Wednesday against the Vegas Golden Knights.

The Maple Leaf enter the action on Wednesday as -130 home favorites against a Golden Knights squad that has lost three of their past five (2-2-1).
Benoit has not played the previous two games but will likely return to the lineup on Wednesday against the Vegas Golden Knights.

Domi will not play on Wednesday due to a lower-body injury but will be eligible to be activated from Injured Reserve before the Maple Leafs' following game on Novemeber 24th against the Utah Hockey Club. The 29-year-old Domi has struggled with the Maple Leaf this season, going without a point in 13 straight games. The Maple Leafs have recalled Nikita Grebyonkin from the Toronto Marlies (AHL).
Kampf is battling a lower-body injury and will not be eligible to return until, at earliest, November 24th against the Utah Hockey Club. Kampf has three points (0G / 3A) in 18 games with the Maple Leafs this season. In a corresponding move, the Maple Leafs recalled Fraser Minten from the Toronto Marlies (AHL).
Matthews will mis a seventh straight game due to his upper-body injury. With games so few and far between for the Maple Leafs, it's possible they are just taking a cautious approach to his return to the lineup. The 27-year-old Matthews was off to a slower-than-usual start to the 2024-25 campaign but had six points (2G / 4A) in his last five games.
Jarnkrok has not played this season and will have to stay sidelined after suffering a setback in his recovery from a lower-body injury, ultimately undergoing sports hernia surgery. The 33-year-old Jarnkrok had provided a steady dose of secondary offense in two seasons with the Maple Leafs, scoring 60 points (30G / 30A) in 125 combined games, but unfortunately, he will be out for several months.
Myers hasn't played since October 26th, so he'll go to the Toronto Marlies to get some game action in. With Jani Hakanpaa now off IR, it could be a while before Myers gets back in the Maple Leafs' lineup.
In mid-September, the Canucks announced that 28-year-old Dakota Joshua had been diagnosed with testicular cancer and successfully had a tumor removed but would not be ready for the start of training camp. After several months of recovery, Joshua is expected to make his season debut, likely with limited minutes on the fourth line. The fifth-year winger is coming off his best season in 2023-24, with 18 goals, 32 points, 60 PIMs, 84 SOG, and a +19 plus/minus through 63 games played.
The Maple Leafs will turn to Woll on Wednesday looking to rebound from a disappointing 3-0 defeat at the hands of the Senators on Tuesday. Woll is coming off a strong performance against the Habs on Saturday, allowing just one goal on 21 shots enroute to a 4-1 victory. The 26-year-old netminder owns a 2-2-0 record and a .905 SV% in four appearances this season. Woll and the Maple Leafs enter action in Washington as slight underdogs at +120.
Alexander Steeves will make his season debut with the Maple Leafs on Wednesday, sending Robertson to the press box as a healthy scratch. The 23-year-old Robertson has been a regular in the lineup for the Maple Leafs this season, but has only tallied one point (1G / 0A) and 21 shots on goal while averaging 12:51 time-on-ice through 15 games.
Jani Hakanpaa will make his maple Leafs debut on Wednesday, resulting in Benoit being a healthy scratch. The 26-year-old Benoit has been a regular on the blueline for the Maple Leafs this season, averaging 15:51 time-on-ice, tallying two points (0G / 2A), 29 blocks, and 31 hits in 17 games.
With the Maple Leafs riding a three-game winning streak, Stolarz will return to the crease on Tuesday after having the night off in their previous game. Stolarz has been solid all season, posting a 2.00 GAA and .930 SV% in 10 games (6-2-2), but has somehow outperformed those stats in his previous three games (2-0-1), allowing only three combined goals and posting a .964 SV%. The Maple Leafs enter the action on Tuesday as -123 home favorites against an Ottawa Senators club that has scored only six goals in their past three games (1-2-0).
Benning was acquired in a trade earlier this season that sent Timothy Liljegren to the San Jose Sharks. The 30-year-old Benning has not played a single game with the Maple Leafs since the trade and had zero points, 10 blocks, and nine hits in seven games with the Sharks.
