After ending the 2024-25 season with the second-worst record in the Western Conference, the Blackhawks are off to a pleasant 4-3-2 start to the 2025-26 season. Part of the success can be attributed to Spencer Knight's tremendous goaltending. The 24-year-old Knight is boasting an outstanding 1.97 GAA and .937 SV% through six games this season (3-2-1). The Blackhawks enter Tuesday's contest as +122 home underdogs against an Ottawa Senators team that blew up offensively last night, defeating the Boston Bruins 7-2.
