The Panthers are riding a seven-game winning streak and will turn to Knight between the pipes for the third time in eight games. The 23-year-old Knight has been serviceable between the pipes in limited action for the Panthers this season, posting a 2.79 GAA and .902 SV%. The Panthers enter the action on Tuesday as -142 home favorites against a New Jersey Devils club that was shut out 1-0 by the San Jose Sharks in their most recent contest.

Anderson will re-enter the lineup in place of Pat Maroon as the Blackhawks opt to get some fresh bodies into their lineup for the tail-end of their back-to-back. Anderson has no goals and just one assist in five games this season.

On the tail end of a back-to-back, a night after a 4-1 loss to the Detroit Red Wings, the Blackhawks will switch to Soderblom between the pipes in a Thursday night matchup against their division rivals, the Dallas Stars. The 25-year-old Soderblom has seen limited action this season but has been solid when called upon, posting a 2.35 GAA and .927 SV% in three outings (1-1-1). That said, the Blackhawks enter the action on Thursday as significant +285 road underdogs against the Stars.

Knight allowed three goals on 28 shots in the Panthers' win over the Islanders last Saturday. WIth Sergei Bobrovsky starting yesterday, Knight will start the second-half of the Panthers back-to-back in Finland. He hasn't been particularly sharp in his three starts (3.03 GAA and .898 SV%) but it's been good enough win two of three.

Soderblom will return to backup Petr Mrazek on Monday after missing the last two games due to an illness. Soderblom has made two appearances this season, posting a 0-1-1 record and a .911 SV%. Drew Commesso has been reassigned to Rockford (AHL) to make room for Soderblom's return.

Commesso will return to the AHL without making an appearance after serving as Chicago's backup in the absence of Arvid Soderblom (illness). The former second-round draft pick owns a 1-1-0 record and an .854 SV% in two AHL games this season.

Knight stopped all six shots that he faced after replacing Sergei Bobrovsky in the Panthers' loss to the Wild on Tuesday. Thought three appearances (two starts) this season, Knight has a 3.04 GAA and .900 SV%. On Saturday he'll face the Islanders and the Panthers enter play as -137 road favourites.

Commesso was recalled earlier on Friday but is yet to make his NHL debut. The 22-year-old netminder was selected 46th overall by Chicago in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. He has a 1-1-0 record and an .854 SV% in two AHL games this season. He will get the opportunity to back up Petr Mrazek as Arvid Soderblom is out with an illness.

Soderblom was originally projected to start Saturday's game in Dallas, but that is seemingly now up in the air. The recently recalled Drew Commesso will serve as the backup for Petr Mrazek on Friday night.

Commesso is yet to make his NHL debut. The 22-year-old netminder was selected 46th overall by Chicago in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. He has a 1-1-0 record and an .854 SV% in two AHL games this season. Isak Phillips was sent down to make room for Commesso.

Levshunov was the 2nd overall pick of the Blackhawks in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft and will begin his professional career with the Rockford Icehogs (AHL). The 18-year-old Levshunov had 44 points (9G / 26A) in 38 games playing collegiate hockey for Michigan State University.

Slaggert was a third-round pick of the Chicago Blackhawks in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. The 22-year-old Indiana native made his NHL debut last season, scoring four points (1G / 3A) in 16 games with Chicago.

After playing 55 games with the Blackhawks last season, scoring 17 points (5G / 12A), the 26-year-old Anderson seems to have found a home in the NHL after being a journeyman for the first seven years of his career. He has one point (0G / 1A) in five games with the Blackhawks this season and his status for Saturday's game against the Buffalo Sabres is uncertain.
