This comes one game after Knies took a stick to the wrist resulting in attention from the training staff.

Looks like Knies took a whack on his wrist. Briefly looked a by staff but he's toughing it out.

Hopefully, this is precautionary from the Maple Leafs but if it is something more severe, it will have proved to be a massive mistake by letting him play the prospect tournament in the first place.
