Spencer Knight Set to Start for Blackhawks Against Sabres Saturday

Spencer Knight will start in goal for the Chicago Blackhawks in Saturday's road matchup against the Buffalo Sabres.

Knight is coming off a 2025-26 campaign in which he posted a 19-25-11 record, 2.82 GAA, .902 save percentage, and three shutouts over 55 games.
