This has been a regular occurrence for Knies lately, who is battling through an undisclosed ailment. The 23-year-old Knies is having an excellent season, with 41 points (12G / 29A) and 100 hits in 46 games. He joins Tom Wilson as the only player in the NHL with over 40 points and 100 hits.
Stolarz has been sidelined since November 11th, but he's nearing a return, so he'll go to the Marlies to get back up to game speed. Both Joseph Woll and Dennis Hildeby have performed well in Stolarz's absence, so it's unclear how much playing time he'll get once he returns to the Maple Leafs.
Knies has been battling through an undisclosed injury for parts of the season, causing him to miss some games and practices. The 23-year-old wasa game-time decision for Monday's game against the Minnesota Wild. He has struggled a little offensively lately, scoring only four points (1G / 3A) in his last eight games, but is still having a tremendous season, with 40 points (12G / 28A) in 45 games.

Woll is coming off one of his worst outings of the season, allowing six goals on 33 shots (.818 SV%) in a 6-5 overtime loss to the Vegas Golden Knights, and finds himself in a bit of a rough patch.

The Maple Leafs enter Monday's contest as slight -108 home favorites against a Minnesota Wild team that has lost three of its last four games (1-2-1).

Nylander aggravated his lower-body injury early in Thursday's loss in Vegas. Nylander was able to tally a goal and an assist before leaving the game, and had three goals and four assists in four games after returning to the lineup last Saturday.

Stolarz has been out since November 11th, but is getting close to a return to the Maple Leafs crease and has a chance to return before the Olympic break according to Head Coach Craig Berube. Joseph Woll and Dennis Hildeby have performed well in his absence, but the team will likely send Hildeby back to the Marlies (AHL) when Stolarz is cleared to play. Stolarz said the he likely needs a "couple more practices" before he is ready to play.
Nylander has already missed 10 games this season and reaggravated a previous injury in Thursday's game against the Vegas Golden Knights, exiting the game early in the first period. The 29-year-old Nylander has been outstanding when healthy, scoring 48 points (17G / 31A) in 37 games. He scored two points (1G / 1A) on Thursday in just 2:17 time-on-ice.
