Knight stopped 20 of 24 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Jets.
Knight is 0-2-2 with 16 goals allowed on 138 shots in his last four outings. The Blackhawks' inexperienced defense and Knight's career-high 50 games played are likely factors in his declining performance late in the season. The 24-year-old netminder is now at an 18-21-11 record with a 2.74 GAA and a .906 save percentage on the year. The Blackhawks set off for a three-game road trip next, which begins Thursday in Edmonton. That'll be a matchup fantasy managers want to avoid, as the Oilers have tagged Knight for six goals on 66 shots in their previous two meetings this season.
