Spencer Knight was red-hot when he arrived in Chicago, and while he's struggled since that point, he's not trying to make a big deal out of his recent play.
At the trade deadline, the Chicago Blackhawks not only moved off the terrible Seth Jones contract, but they also landed their potential goaltender of the future in Spencer Knight from the Florida Panthers, especially after some early wins for his new team.
He began his career in Chicago with a bang, putting on a few stellar performances that had fans raving about his potential, but as of late, things certainly haven't been going that well.
With some poor performances, Knight now has an .887 save percentage and a 3.26 GAA in Chicago, and while he's taking things seriously, he admits that the skill level on display in the NHL against him is sometimes something you simply can't help.
«There's skilled players in this league, they're going to make great plays, and you've just got to try to focus on what you can and learn how to get better. I always try to err on the side of, 'Oh, how can I get better?' rather than, 'Oh, every goal is really good. There's nothing I could do.' I think that's a mindset you're not going to get better with.
«There are little things you can always get better on, and I try each day in practice to stay on top of those things, whether it's skating, tracking, handling the puck or moving into shots. . . . I think about them, but I don't make them overly complicated and be too [stressed] like, 'Oh, my gosh.' ''

Some fans may be frustrated that Knight isn't too worried about the Blackhawks play in recent times, but at a young age, it's clear that he's still trying to remain positive, and with the 2024/25 campaign all but over in Chicago, they'll be looking forward to the summer where they can potentially reload around Knight and star forward Connor Bedard.
