Blackhawks' Spencer Knight Steals the Show in Debut-Big Saves Post-Seth Jones Trade
The Chicago are tied 1-1 at first intermission thanks to the play of goalie Spencer Knight who has been a lifesaver in the crease.
Spencer Knight is starting his first game for the Chicago Blackhawks against their rivals in the Pacific, the Los Angeles Kings.
These games are always fierce and competitive, and it looks like this match will be no different as the Blackhawks will face high-danger chances from players like
Kevin Fiala, and
Warren Foegele.
Foegel is a known net-crasher, and was a fierce performer during the Stanley Cup playoffs with the Edmonton Oilers, and shows his game here. In what should've been a goal for the Kings, Spencer Knight gave us a highlight-reel save.
We don't typically get these kinds of saves from Blackhawks goalie, as unfortunately, players like
Petr Mrazek are past their prime.
And Knight is showing here, why the Blackhawks made a major trade for him below.
If this was anyone else, the Hawks would be down by a goal, and now Knight has proven he's worth the salt here.
Foegele and the Kings look desperate for another goal and are jamming the net without success, thanks to Knight and his acrobatics.
The Blackhawks and Kings are tied 1-1, and Spencer Knight is rocking with 16 saves on 17 shots against, with a .941 save percentage through the first period.
Can Spencer Knight help deliver a Blackhawks win tonight against one of their fiercest rivals in the West?
