Domi has been playing through a lingering lower-body injury while Grebenkin is expected to make his NHL debut.

Knies has tallied eight goals and four assists through 20 games, giving him 12 to date — good for fifth-best on the Maple Leafs. Meanwhile, Domi has six assists and a 48.0 percent faceoff success rate in his first 19 outings and was beginning to build chemistry with Knies and Nylander on the second line before disaster struck.
