Toronto Maple Leafs prospect Matthew Knies has informed the team that he will return to the University of Minnesota next season.
Knies helped the Minnesota Golden Gophers reach the semifinals of the NCAA's Frozen Four tournament but the team was eliminated by Minnesota State.
The 19-year-old scored 15 goals and 18 assists over 33 games for the Gophers this past season, his first in the NCAA.
Knies also played on the U.S. world junior team at the eventually cancelled and rescheduled 2022 tournament and the American Olympic team at the Beijing Winter Games earlier this year.
