Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Spencer Knight agreed to a three-year, $17.5 million extension on Saturday.
Knight, 24, is entering the final season of a $13.5 million deal. The extension begins in the 2026-27 campaign.
He posted a 5-8-2 record with a 3.18 goals-against average and .893 save percentage in 15 games (all starts) with Chicago. The Blackhawks acquired Knight along with a conditional first-round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft from the Florida Panthers at last season’s trade deadline in exchange for defenseman Seth Jones and a fourth-round pick in the 2026 draft.
“After joining the team in March, Spencer quickly cemented himself as a crucial piece of our future,” Blackhawks general manager Kyle Davidson said. “A talented, young goaltender, he brings athleticism, sound positioning and a calm demeanor to his game, and we’re excited to watch Spencer continue to flourish in Chicago over the next four seasons.”
Knight has a 49-33-9 record with five shutouts, a 2.83 GAA and .904 SP in 95 career games (85 starts) with the Panthers and Blackhawks. He was selected by Florida with the 13th overall pick in the 2019 NHL Draft.
