This Blackhawks goalie has the potential to hit a new level next season.
Chicago Blackhawks goalie Spencer Knight had a solid 2024-25 season. In 55 games on the year, he had a .902 save percentage, 2.82 goals-against average, and three shutouts. With numbers like these, he showed that he is capable of being a solid starting goaltender in the NHL.
Yet, with Knight still being only 25 years old, the possibility of him hitting a new level with the Blackhawks next season should not be ruled out. The Darien, Connecticut native has high potential, and he could take that next step now that he has gained more experience as a true No. 1 goaltender for the Blackhawks.
Goaltenders can take a longer to develop at the NHL level, so it would not be particularly surprising if we see Knight improve next season. He has already shown plenty of promise with Chicago, and if the Blackhawks' defense improves in front of him, he could have a big year in 2026-27.
It will be interesting to see what kind of campaign Knight has for the Blackhawks next season, but there is plenty to be optimistic about when it comes to his game.
