Spencer Knight, Chicago Blackhawks: Back in Florida, Faces Panthers in Season Opener

Chicago Blackhawks goalie Spencer Knight meets the media after his team practiced at the IcePlex in Fort Lauderdale on Monday, Oct. 6, 2025.

Knight, Florida’s first-round draft pick in 2019, was traded from the Panthers to the Blackhawks for Seth Jones last March.

He is expected to face his former teammates for the first time in the 2025-26 NHL season-opener on Tuesday in Sunrise.

Florida opens the season Tuesday against the Blackhawks where they will raise their 2025 Stanley Cup banner.
