Knight will start vs. Los Angeles.

Knight played well in his previous game, stopping 31 of 34 shots (.912 SV%), but didn't get enough goal support in a 3-2 loss to his former team, the Florida Panthers. The 25-year-old Knight has allowed three or more goals in six straight games (2-4-0), posting a 3.54 GAA and .891 SV%. The Blackhawks enter Tuesday's game as slight +101 home underdogs against a low-scoring Los Angeles Kings team that exploded for a season-high six-goal output in yesterday's 6-3 win over the New York Rangers.

Knight will start vs. Montreal on Friday.

The Blackhawks have played better since welcoming Connor Bedard into the lineup, going 2-1-0, but keeping the puck out of their net remains an issue. Knight has allowed three or more goals in six of seven games this season, including allowing four on 32 shots (.875 SV%) in his most recent outing, a 4-0 loss to the Dallas Stars. The 25-year-old American goalie has a 3.59 GAA and .888 SV% in seven games (3-4-0). The Blackhawks enter Friday's contest as +145 home underdogs against a Montreal Canadiens team with their own defensive struggles, allowing 15 goals in their last four games (2-1-1).

Knight will start vs. Winnipeg on Thursday.

The Blackhawks welcomed Connor Bedard (shoulder) back into the lineup for his season debut in a 5-3 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins, a bright note in an otherwise disappointing 2-5-0 start to the season. The team hopes to build on the momentum of their superstar captain's return, turning to Knight to tend the twine on Thursday. The 25-year-old Knight had a solid first full season in Chicago, but has a subpar 3.64 GAA and .885 SV% through five games this season (2-3-0). Chicago enters Thursday's contest as +114 home underdogs against a surprising 4-1-1 Winnipeg Jets team.

Knight will start vs. Pittsburgh on Tuesday.

Knight had a solid first full season with the Blackhawks in 2025-26, posting a serviceable 2.82 GAA and .902 SV% in 55 games (19-25-11). That said, the 25-year-old goalie has struggled out of the gate in 2026-27, as has his team (1-5-0), posting an ugly 3.80 GAA and .885 SV% in four games (1-3-0). The Blackhawks, hopeful to welcome Conor Bedard (shoulder) into their lineup for his season debut, enter Tuesday's contest as +142 home underdogs against a 3-2-1 Pittsburgh Penguins team.

Knight led the Blackhawks onto the ice for warmups; he'll start Tuesday vs. St. Louis.

Knight had a solid first full season with the Blackhawks in 2025-26, posting a serviceable 2.82 GAA and .902 SV% in 55 games (19-25-11). That said, the 25-year-old goalie has struggled out of the gate in 2026-27, as has his team, which is still without Connor Bedard (shoulder), posting an ugly 4.04 GAA and .875 SV% in two outings (0-2-0). The Blackhawks aren't expected to be the epitome of team defence this season, but they struggled last year as well, and Knight still performed well, so they will hope he showcases that same talent this year. The Blackhawks enter Tuesday's contest as +127 home favourites against a St. Louis Blues team off to a 1-1-0 start this season.

Knight will start Chicago's season opener in Vegas on Tuesday.

After starting 55 games in 2025-26, Spencer Knight is unsurprisingly expected to take the crease for Chicago's season opener in Vegas after occupying the starter's crease at morning skate. The 25-year-old American netminder enjoyed an up-and-down season in his first campaign as Chicago's starter last year, posting a 19-25-11 record, 2.82 GAA and .902 SV%. He will head to Vegas to take on the Golden Knights, who are coming off a Game 6 loss to Carolina in the Stanley Cup Final last season.

Knight will start vs. San Jose on Wednesday.

Knight had another poor performance in his previous outing, allowing five goals on 26 shots (.808 SV%) in a 5-1 loss to the Buffalo Sabres. The 24-year-old goalie is amid his worst stretch of the season, losing eight straight (0-6-2) while posting an ugly 4.06 GAA and .868 SV%. He hopes to rebound in Chicago's final game of the season, entering the action as +106 home underdogs against a San Jose Sharks team coming off a 3-2 win over the Nashville Predators.
