Toronto Maple Leafs forward Matthew Knies has been dealing with an injury this season, and with the Winter Olympics ongoing, he has seemingly found a solution.
Matthew Knies is one of the players on the Toronto Maple Leafs who has proven to be an absolute beast over the past few years.
The Maple Leafs are better with Knies on the roster. Unfortunately, he has been dealing with a knee injury this season, and it has affected his play.
Despite having 46 points in 54 games, there is no denying that Knies could have been better in the final stretch before the Winter Olympics.
The forward acknowledged that the injury was affecting his ability to perform at a high level, and as it turns out, he is taking strides to fix it.
Matthew Knies is working on his injury
The Winter Olympics have provided the perfect opportunity for players to go out and get some work done on themselves for when play resumes.
According to Leafs Latest, Knies, in particular, is getting some special work done on his knee in Arizona, and it could be the key to his recovery.
Matthew Knies has been back in Arizona during the break at Dr. Michael Fix Medical Group, a sports chiropractic clinic, getting some treatment and recovery done on his knee.
If Knies can get healthy for the final stretch of the season, then there is a chance that this team ends up going to the postseason.
Until then, the Leafs are going to need to hope for the best and also make some moves at the NHL Trade Deadline.
At the end of the day, the Leafs are a good team when healthy and their lack of health is what has hurt them this season.
