Knies scored a power-play goal in a 3-1 loss to Tampa Bay on Thursday.
He fired three shots and laid three hits. Knies has had a slow adjustment to Columbus. He has three goals, two of which have come on the power play, five assists, 30 hits and 26 shots. Knies is coming off a 66-point season in Toronto, so fans and fantasy managers have both been expecting more. He may be starting to warm up, though -- he has a goal and two assists in his last four games (nine hits, seven shots).
