Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Takes unlucky loss Sunday
Rotowire
Knight stopped 25 of 26 shots in Sunday's 1-0 loss to the Avalanche.
Knight played well but got no goal support from his teammates. Cale Makar's tally at 18:21 of the second period was the only one of the game. Knight has allowed a modest 10 goals on 123 shots over his last four outings, and that makes him unlucky to be 1-2-1 in that span. On the year, he's at a 7-5-3 record with a 2.38 GAA and a .924 save percentage through 15 starts. His record may depend on how the team in front of him performs, but Knight's performance is positioning him well as a breakout player this year. The Blackhawks will be back in action against the suddenly stingy Wild on Wednesday, which could end up being another tight game.

Rotowire
Knight will get the start Sunday against the Avalanche, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.
Knight has been one of the league's best goaltenders this season, sporting a .922 save percentage that's the second best in the NHL.

Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Late collapse in loss
Rotowire
Knight stopped 24 of 27 shots on goal in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Kraken.
After dominating the first two periods, Knight and the Blackhawks' defense allowed room for the Kraken to come back and steal the win with three goals in the final 15 minutes. With the loss, the 24-year-old goaltender has a 7-4-3 record with a 2.47 GAA and a .922 save percentage in 14 appearances this season. Even though the win slipped through his fingers Thursday, Knight's first full season with Chicago has been nothing short of elite. With the Blackhawks' defense allowing a plethora of attempts on goal per game, he's been challenged between the pipes and has responded well, allowing more than three goals in a game just twice this season. While Thursday's loss can be seen as discouraging, Knight ranks fourth among all goalies in fantasy leagues that track shots against, making him a must-own player in most formats for the foreseeable future.

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.

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.
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.

Rotowire
Knight stopped 26 of 32 shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Jets.

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 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.

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.

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.

He'll aim to make it two wins in a row when the Blackhawks visit the Blues on Wednesday.
