Knies looks to snap scoring skid as Blue Jackets host Golden Knights
Matthew Knies and the Blue Jackets welcome the Vegas Golden Knights to Nationwide Arena tonight looking to rebound from a tough stretch. Columbus enters as a home underdog against a strong 8–4–0 Vegas squad in what projects to be a higher-scoring environment. While Knies has cooled off with zero points across his last five outings, his role remains rock solid on the top line alongside Adam Fantilli and Kent Johnson, backed by top power-play usage. Fantasy managers have reacted to the slump with start rates dipping down to 48%, but he has upside tonight likely facing Carter Hart (unconfirmed).
Our daily projections anticipate a rebound for the power forward, forecasting ~1 point, ~1–2 shots on goal, and nearly two hits. Skating on the top power-play unit gives him extra upside to break through on the scoresheet. Tonight also serves as the final contest of a light two-game schedule this week for Columbus, capping his short-term volume. However, his consistent 18-minute ice time and prime offensive placement make him well worth rolling out if you need offensive help. Today’s action: Cautious Start.
