Auston Matthews has gotten off to a hot start this season despite coming off knee surgery, but it has come as no surprise to Blue Jackets star defenceman Zach Werenski. Matthews' former teammate, Matthew Knies, is excited to go up against someone who he has spent so much time with.
Adam Fantilli had nothing but complimentary words for former teammate Kirill Marchenko as he makes his return to Columbus for the first time since being traded to Toronto. Fantilli stated that it is a good thing that everything worked out the way it did so the team could avoid having a 'nightmare' situation with someone who didn't want to be there.
Despite having success with the Blue Jackets and being a fan favourite, Kirill Marchenko no longer wanted to play in Columbus which sparked a trade to Toronto. What will the fan reaction be like to his return?
Matthew Knies has yet to get fully used to his move to Columbus but knows that will come with time, especially with the personality of the room, which has been very welcoming. Blue Jackets head coach Rick Bowness believes they can get a lot more out of the forward as time progresses.
It will be a big night for Matthew Knies as he prepares to play against his former team for the first time. The Blue Jackets forward admits it will be hard to treat it like any other game. His new teammates in Columbus have loved having Knies in their squad and know what this game means to him.
