"It wasn't necessarily protocol. We just felt the best to hold him out precautionary for the rest of the game."
Today was a day full of news regarding Matthew Knies as he was also sent down to the AHL. The move is just a paper transaction and Knies should be back up on the NHL roster by tomorrow.

"Matt's doing really well ... anticipate that he'll be fine & available for tomorrow"
