Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Falls in overtime
Rotowire
Knight stopped 33 of 37 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Devils.
Knight failed to uphold three separate leads in the game, and defenseman Simon Nemec completed his hat trick in overtime to send Knight to the defeat. While Knight has gone 2-1-2 over his last five games, he's allowed a reasonable 15 goals in that span, which is notable because he's faced at least 30 shots in each of those outings. The 24-year-old is at a 6-3-3 record with a 2.46 GAA and a .923 save percentage over 12 appearances. Knight has been an integral part of the Blackhawks' early success this season, so expect him to continue seeing ample playing time. Chicago's next game is at home versus the high-scoring Maple Leafs on Saturday.

Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Claims first shutout of season
Rotowire
Knight posted a 33-save shutout in Friday's 4-0 win over the Flames.
Knight cooled off the Flames' recent success on offense and delivered a strong performance for his first shutout in a Blackhawks sweater. It was the sixth shutout of Knight's career, and he's allowed two or fewer goals in six of his 11 outings this season. He improved to 6-3-2 with a 2.33 GAA and a .926 save percentage. Knight and the Blackhawks have both taken a step forward this year, and he should continue to be a reliable fantasy netminder as long as the team in front of him does its job. The Blackhawks close out their road trip Sunday in Detroit.

Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Holds on for win in Vancouver
Rotowire
Knight stopped 43 of 45 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.
The game was scoreless through two periods before the Blackhawks' offense came alive. The Canucks continued to push, and Knight's shutout bid was spoiled with 3:11 left when Aatu Raty scored. Knight got a little revenge with an assist on Connor Bedard's empty-netter. The 24-year-old Knight continues to impress, as he's allowed more than three goals just once all season. He's at a 5-3-2 record with a 2.56 GAA and a .919 save percentage through 10 starts. The Blackhawks have a favorable matchup next on the schedule as they visit the Flames on Friday.
Knight will guard the road goal versus the Canucks on Wednesday, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Knight has hit a bit of a skid, going 1-1-1 with 12 goals allowed on 86 shots over his last three games. He may get a bit of a reprieve against a Canucks team that is far from full strength, though Conor Garland (undisclosed) will be back in the lineup.

Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Loses to Oilers in overtime
Rotowire
Knight stopped 27 of 30 shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Oilers.
Knight put in a decent effort, but two power-play goals and Evan Bouchard's game-winner sent the Blackhawks to a second straight defeat. The 24-year-old Knight has allowed nine goals on 62 shots over his last two contests, and he may be coming down from his high-quality performances from mid-October. He's at a 4-3-2 record with a 2.62 GAA and a .913 save percentage over nine starts this year. The Blackhawks' road trip continues in Seattle on Monday. Knight has started six of the last seven games but has not gotten the nod four times in a row yet this season, so it's unclear if he'll play Monday.

Knight had a rough start Thursday, giving up six goals on 32 shots in a 6-3 loss to Winnipeg. He is 4-3-1 with a 2.59 GAA and a .914 save percentage across eight starts this season, as he has solidified the Chicago goaltending situation.

Rotowire
Knight stopped 26 of 32 shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Jets.
Knight gave up a season-worst six goals in this loss. Although one bad outing won't define what he's done this season, it's worth noting that Knight might be trending in the wrong direction after posting a save percentage below .900 in his last two starts.

Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Set to start Thursday
Rotowire
Knight is expected to start on the road against Winnipeg on Thursday, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Knight has won his past three starts while stopping 88 of 94 shots (.936 save percentage). That gives him a 4-2-1 record, 2.11 GAA and .930 save percentage in seven outings overall. Winnipeg is tied for 13th in goals per game with 3.40.
Knight stopped 21 of 24 shots in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Senators.
Knight has earned the win in each of his last three starts while allowing three or fewer goals each time, so the 24-year-old netminder is clearly trending in the right direction. He's posted an excellent .936 save percentage and a 1.97 GAA over that three-game winning run, which includes victories over the Ducks, Lightning and Senators.

Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Tending twine against Senators
Rotowire
Knight will guard the home goal versus the Senators on Tuesday, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.
Knight is 3-0-1 with six goals allowed on 124 shots over his last four outings, good for a .952 save percentage. The 24-year-old will draw a tough assignment against a Senators team that has 14 goals over the last two games. However, Ottawa is in the second half of a back-to-back and may not have as much gas in the tank for this contest.

Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Set to face Tampa Bay
Rotowire
Knight is expected to start on the road against Tampa Bay on Thursday.
Knight is 2-2-1 with a 1.96 GAA and a .937 save percentage across five appearances this year. The 24-year-old goaltender has a 3-1-0 record, 3.11 GAA and .901 save percentage in four career regular-season outings against Tampa Bay. While Tampa Bay is a talented squad, the Lightning haven't played like it so far this season -- they're 1-3-2 and rank 30th in goals per game with 2.67 -- so Knight might be facing them at an opportune time.

Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Earns OT win Sunday
Rotowire
Knight stopped 38 of 39 shots in Sunday's 2-1 overtime win over the Ducks.
Knight posted a season-high mark in saves and shots faced while matching his season-low tally of goals allowed in what turned out to be a masterful performance between the pipes. The 24-year-old came quite close to posting a shutout, but Mason McTavish's power-play goal with 36 seconds left denied him that opportunity. Knight has allowed two or fewer goals in each of his last three starts, a span where he's gone 1-1-1 with a 1.28 GAA and an excellent .957 save percentage.

Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Falls in shootout
Rotowire
Knight stopped 30 of 32 shots in Friday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Canucks.
Once again, Knight gave the Blackhawks good enough goaltending to have a chance at a win. He's unlucky to be 1-2-1 this year, having allowed just nine goals on 119 shots. The 24-year-old netminder is playing at a high level in a starting role, and the Blackhawks have shown some flashes of taking the first steps out of their rebuild. Fantasy managers should at least check on Knight -- his ratios won't hurt, even if he's having trouble compiling wins. The Blackhawks host another young team when the Ducks come to town Sunday.

Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Strong showing in win Monday
Rotowire
Knight stopped 22 of 23 shots in Monday's 3-1 win over Utah.
Knight was beaten in the early stages of the third period by JJ Peterka, who slotted a wrister past him at the 1:02 mark in the final frame. Other than that, Knight was sensational between the pipes to earn his first win of the 2025-26 campaign in his third outing. He'll aim to make it two wins in a row when the Blackhawks visit the Blues on Wednesday.

Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Takes tough loss Saturday
Rotowire
Knight made 25 saves in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Canadiens.
The 24-year-old netminder got beaten twice in three minutes on Montreal power plays early in the second period, but Knight was otherwise outstanding. There wasn't much he could do on the game-winner, however -- with Montreal cranking up the pressure late in regulation, Sam Rinzel was knocked into his goalie and Knight lost his stick, and he could only watch in disbelief as Kaiden Guhle's point shot deflected off Knight's own lumber into the net with just 15 seconds left on the clock. Knight is 0-2 to begin his first full season as Chicago's No. 1, but his .908 save percentage (six goals on 65 shots) offers a better reflection of his play so far in 2025-26 behind a porous Blackhawks defense.
