Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Shines in season finale
Rotowire
Knight saved 34 of 37 shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Senators.
Knight was excellent Tuesday as he allowed just one goal at even strength early in the first period. After the Senators scored two power-play goals in the second period, Knight tended a clean final frame before the Blackhawks would take the win early in the extra period. Overall, the 23-year-old netminder wraps up the season with a 17-16-3 record, a 2.72 GAA and a .902 save percentage across 38 appearances. Knight posted 72 saves across his last two starts. He has one year left in his current contract, making him the safe bet to be the Opening Night starter for Chicago next season.

Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Expected starter against Ottawa
Rotowire
Knight is slated to draw the road start against the Senators on Tuesday, according to TSN 1200 Ottawa.
Knight made a season-high 38 saves on 42 shots Saturday against Winnipeg but was charged with the shootout loss. The 23-year-old has recorded just one win in his last seven appearances, turning in a 3.39 GAA and an .879 save percentage across that span. However, the Sens are choosing to rest a few players Tuesday, so Knight has an opportunity to close out the campaign on a high note. The Connecticut native is 2-1-0 with one shutout, a 3.67 GAA and an .879 save percentage over three career outings against Ottawa.

Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Battles in shootout loss
Rotowire
Knight stopped 37 of 41 shots in Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Jets.
Knight's strong performance in goal was a key reason why the Blackhawks made it to the shootout. The 23-year-old netminder allowed two goals in the second period and another two in the third frame before stopping six shots in overtime. However, Winnipeg's Kyle Connor and Cole Perfetti would get the better of Knight in the shootout to steal the win. Knight has a 16-16-3 record with a .901 save percentage and a 2.72 GAA through 37 appearances between Chicago and Florida this season. While he lacks the win totals of top netminders in fantasy, he's garnered a high save volume over the past few weeks to produce a solid output in most formats. Knight will probably get at least one more start before the end of the 2024-25 campaign, with Chicago set to play a road back-to-back against Montreal on Monday and versus Ottawa on Tuesday.

Rotowire

In his last outing, Knight allowed five goals on 27 shots in a 5-0 loss to Pittsburgh on Tuesday. He has a 4-8-1 record with a 3.16 GAA and an .889 save percentage across 13 appearances with Chicago this season. Winnipeg ranks third in the league with 3.39 goals per game in 2024-25.

Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Hung out to dry in Pittsburgh
Rotowire
Knight turned aside 22 shots in Tuesday's 5-0 loss to the Penguins.
Sidney Crosby potted a power-play tally with 16 seconds left in the first period for what proved to be the game-winner, and Chicago's skaters gave Knight no help the rest of the way. The young netminder has been tagged for four or more goals in six of his last nine outings, going 2-6-1 over that stretch with a 3.57 GAA and .870 save percentage. The talent that made Knight the 13th overall pick in the 2019 Draft is still there, but the team around him will need to get a lot better over the summer if he's going to have much fantasy appeal next season.

Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Takes another loss Friday
Rotowire
Knight stopped 24 of 28 shots in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Capitals. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
It took a couple of saves late in the game, but Knight avoided being the goalie to give up Alex Ovechkin's all-time record-breaking goal. Knight was still on the hook for the goal that allowed the Capitals' captain to tie Wayne Gretzky at 894 goals, as well as three other tallies in this contest. Knight has gone 0-3-1 with 14 goals allowed over his last four contests, and he's lost eight of his last nine outings.

Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Facing Capitals
Rotowire
Knight will guard the visiting crease in Washington on Friday, Vinnie Parise of The Hockey News reports.
Knight has taken over as the No. 1 goaltender in Chicago after his trade from Florida for Seth Jones on March 1. Knight is 3-6-1 with a 3.11 GAA and an .892 save percentage in 10 starts after going 12-8-1 with a 2.40 GAA with the Panthers over 23 games in 2024-25. The Capitals should give Knight all he can handle as they lead the NHL in scoring, averaging 3.60 goals per game this season.

Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Slips up late
Rotowire
Knight stopped 29 of 31 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Avalanche.
Knight had a shutout going through two periods, but he gave up goals to Cale Makar and Martin Necas in the third. The 23-year-old Knight then yielded two tallies on three attempts in the shootout. On the bright side, he allowed fewer than four goals for the first time in four games, but he's still 1-6-1 over his last eight outings. Knight is at 15-14-2 with a 2.62 GAA and a .902 save percentage over a career-high 33 appearances this season. The Blackhawks have a tough matchup Friday against the Capitals, so the netminder should probably be avoided in fantasy until Sunday's game versus the Penguins, assuming he gets that start.

Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Struggles again Friday
Rotowire
Knight stopped 17 of 21 shots in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Golden Knights. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
Knight took his sixth loss in seven outings, and this was the third game in a row in which he allowed at least four goals. The 23-year-old netminder looked like he might defy logic immediately after getting traded to the Blackhawks, but the team's young and shaky defense has caught up to him. Knight is down to 15-14-1 with a 2.65 GAA and a .901 save percentage over 32 appearances this season. The Blackhawks host Utah on Sunday, but it's not yet known which of Knight or Arvid Soderblom will get the start for that contest.

Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Stuck with another loss
Rotowire
Knight turned aside 15 of 19 shots in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Devils, with New Jersey's final goal getting scored into an empty net.
The 23-year-old netminder didn't get a lot of help from his defense, as all four goals came either from right on his doorstep, or through partial screens. Knight has handled a starter's workload since being acquired from the Panthers in the Seth Jones trade, going 3-5-0 in eight March starts with a 3.15 GAA and .894 save percentage.

Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Wins despite conceding four
Rotowire
Knight stopped 24 of 28 shots in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Flyers.
Knight finally snapped his four-game losing skid Sunday and got back to winning ways, although the performance wasn't his best, so fantasy managers still can't trust the 23-year-old in most matchups. Over his last five outings, Knight has gone 1-4-0 with a 3.45 GAA and a subpar .873 save percentage.

Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Makes 30 saves in loss
Rotowire
Knight stopped 30 of 32 shots in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Kings.
Knight did a good job between the posts except for 59 seconds in the first period, a span in which he was beaten twice, although it must be added that the offense didn't provide him enough support. Knight has started in four of Chicago's last five games, but he's lost every one of those starts while posting a 3.30 GAA and an .877 save percentage. He'll aim to bounce back when the Blackhawks take on the Blues on Saturday, although it's uncertain if he'll remain in the starting role.
