Signed through the 2029 season and only 24 years old, Knight has a bright future ahead of him with the Blackhawks, as he, and Conner Bedard are forming a nucleus of a future contender for the Stanley Cup.

Coming off a solid 2-1 overtime win against the Ducks, where Knight made 38 saves, with the only goal coming on a power-play with 35.8 seconds left in the third period, the Blackhawks are in a good position moving forward when they play the Tampa Bay Lightning, who are riding a three-game losing streak.
