Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Secures first win of season
Rotowire
Knight allowed two goals on 28 shots in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Blues.
Knight put together a positive outing and got enough goal support to earn his first win in three starts. The 25-year-old netminder is seeing plenty of playing time early in the season, as expected. He's allowed 10 goals on 92 shots over his three games, but this was the first time this season he's faced a team that wasn't in the playoffs last year. The Blackhawks have a quick one-game road trip to face the Islanders on Thursday.

Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Gets more help than in opener
Rotowire
Knight made 24 saves in a 4-3 loss to Buffalo on Saturday.
Knight got more support than he did against Vegas in the season opener, but it still wasn't enough. Knight is going to see a lot of rubber this season and wins are going to be tough as the young team in front of him starts to grow up. His talent is obvious -- he delivered above-average GAA (2.82) and save percentage (.902) last season. Your format will dictate if Knight is a strong third goalie, average second or a complete anchor on your fantasy squad.

Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Back in action Saturday
Rotowire
Knight will defend the road crease in Thursday's clash against the Sabres, per Vinnie Parise of The Hockey News.

He'll look to earn his first win of the new campaign against the Sabres, who faltered in a 6-3 loss Thursday.

Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Tough outing in Vegas
Rotowire
Knight stopped 32 of 36 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Golden Knights. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
The Blackhawks got off to a slow start, and they weren't able to recover from that. Knight is capable of maintaining solid ratios after posting a 2.82 GAA and a .902 save percentage over 55 games a year ago in his first full campaign for Chicago. However, since the Blackhawks are still wrapping up their rebuild, wins will likely be hard for the 25-year-old to come by for most of the campaign. Knight's fantasy value will come from consistent playing time rather than results. The Blackhawks' road trip continues in Utah on Thursday.

Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Allows five goals in loss
Rotowire
Knight turned aside 21 of 26 shots on goal in Monday's 5-1 loss to the Sabres.
Knight's struggles continued Monday, as he was handed his eighth consecutive loss. He's received minimal help from his offense during that span, but he has just an .868 save percentage and a 4.07 GAA during his recent 0-6-2 stretch of play. Overall, the 24-year-old netminder has an 18-25-11 record, a 2.84 GAA and a .902 save percentage across 54 games this season. His first full season in Chicago has many highs he can take into next season, including leading the Blackhawks to more combined wins and overtime losses than regulation losses. He still holds high upside in dynasty-based fantasy formats ahead of the 2026-27 campaign.

Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: On wrong side of shutout
