He just set a career high in points for a season and is having himself a solid 2010-2011. One of our posters that follows him closely and attends many Kitchner games raves about him and brought to light these stats today:
Leads the team with 4 game winning goals
2nd on the team with 8 power play goals
2nd on the team in shorthanded goals
1st in the league in overtime goals
1st in the league with 7 shootout goals
1st in the league in shootout percentage at .700 (minimum 5 shots)
1st in the league with shootout game winners.
I think Knight has solid skills, but it's his work ethic and bulldog mentality that's going to win over a lot of fans. The kid never stops going to the net.
For those that are familiar with him what do you project his NHL career to be? 3rd line guy with 2nd line potential? IMO, I think he'll be similar to Ryan Callahan.
