Knight will start in Edmonton on Thursday.

Given that Chicago struggles defensively and has the second-worst goal differential in the league at -53, Knight's 2.74 GAA and .906 SV% through 50 games (18-21-11) seem like a triumph. That said, the 24-year-old goalie has struggled in recent games, allowing three or more goals in four straight (0-2-2), posting an ugly 4.00 GAA and .884 SV%. The Blackhawks enter Thursday's contest as +185 road underdogs against an Edmonton Oilers team on a four-game winning streak.

Knight will start vs. Winnipeg on Tuesday.

The Blackhawks have struggled in recent weeks, and Knight has been the recipient of his team's poor play. The 24-year-old goalie has lost 12 of his last 15 games (3-8-4) and has allowed three or more goals in 12 of those games while posting a subpar .896 SV%. That said, he has seen a slight uptick lately, posting a 3.30 GAA and .909 SV% in his last four games (1-2-1). The Blackhawks enter Tuesday's contest as +135 home underdogs against a Winnipeg Jets team that is desperately battling for a Wild Card spot in the Western Conference.

Knight will start in Philadelphia on Thursday.

Knight was solid in his previous outing, saving 30 of 33 shots (.909 SV%), but came up short in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Nashville Predators. That said, the 24-year-old Knight, who has been serviceable all season in Chicago, has been reliable since returning from the Olympic break, posting a 2.71 GAA and .913 SV%, but unfortunately, it has not translated into a winning record: 2-3-3 in eight games. The Blackhawks enter Thursday's contest as +145 road underdogs against a Philadelphia Flyers team that has points in six of its last seven games (5-1-1).

Knight will start against the Wild on Tuesday.

The Blackhawks will turn to Knight between the pipes for the 45th time this season when they host the Wild on Tuesday. Knight will be looking to bounce-back from a disappointing performance in his last start, when he gave up four goals on 32 shots in a 4-0 loss in Vegas on Saturday. The 24-year-old netminder carries a 17-19-8 record and a .908 SV% into Tuesday night's matchup, where the Blackhawks enter action at +145 on the money line.

Knight will start in Winnipeg on Tuesday.

Knight was terrific in his previous outing, saving 32 of 34 shots (.941 SV%), but did not receive ample goal support, losing 3-1 to the league-leading Colorado Avalanche. The 24-year-old Knight will hope to build on his strong performance, his first time allowing fewer than three goals in eight games (2-5-1). The Blackhawks enter the action on Tuesday as +139 road underdogs against a Winnipeg Jets team that has lost four of its last five games (1-2-2).

Knight will start in Nashville on Thursday.

Knight entered the Olympic break on a rough stretch, losing four of his last five outings (1-3-1), posting an ugly 3.19 GAA and .864 SV%. That said, he has been reliable most of the season and will hope that a prolonged break will help him return to early-season form, when he posted a 2.54 GAA and .913 SV% in his first 34 games (15-13-6). The Blackhawks enter Thursday's contest as +149 road underdogs against the Nashville Predators, whom they defeated 3-0 in their previous meeting.
