<p>From Joseph Woll to Luke Schenn to Ryan O’Reilly to Matthew Knies, I thought there were a lot of positives to grab from Tuesday night’s 4-3 victory at Amalie Arena.

The 33-year-old was an assist why of the Gordie Howe hat trick. You love to see it!</p>
<p>After that, we briefly discussed Matthew Knies. The 20-year-old phenom was really good against Tampa.</p>
