Spencer Knight signed a three-year, $17.5 million extension with the Chicago Blackhawks, locking in a potential long-term starter as Chicago rebuilds. The 24-year-old arrived in March in a swap that sent Seth Jones to Florida for Knight and a first-round pick, signaling Knight as the crease anchor while Arvid Söderblom adds depth and Petr Mrazek departs. Knight’s size, athleticism and calm presence give Chicago a clear path to a stabilized goalie core over the next several seasons.
