Spencer Knight made a strong debut with the Chicago Blackhawks, helping his team defeat the Los Angeles Kings 5-1 on Monday night. The rookie goalie made 41 saves and was instrumental in securing the win.
Knight’s impressive performance marked his first game with the Blackhawks after he was acquired from Florida on Saturday night. “That’s a team win right there,” Knight said. “I’ve always loved coming to play here as an away opponent. But playing here as a Blackhawk is 10 times better.”
The Blackhawks’ victory was boosted by goals from Alec Martinez, Ethan Del Mastro, Ilya Mikheyev, Andreas Athanasiou, and Ryan Donato. The team’s win marked their second consecutive game, and they opened a three-game homestand with ease.
For the Kings, Anze Kopitar scored his 14th goal of the season, but it was not enough to stop the Blackhawks’ winning streak. Knight’s impressive performance extended his winning streak to four games, dating back to his final three starts with the Panthers.
The Blackhawks’ win marks a significant turnaround for the team, which has managed just six goals during their four-game slide. With Knight in goal, the team appears poised for success, and they will look to continue their winning ways in their next game.
