Knight will start vs. San Jose on Monday.

Knight has been solid for the Blackhawks this season, giving them a chance on most nights, but finds himself in a rough stretch, allowing three or more goals in four consecutive games (1-2-1). That said, the 24-year-old Knight is still sporting a solid 2.59 GAA and .908 SV% in his last 10 games (5-4-1). The Blackhawks enter the action on Monday with even -105 odds at home against a San Jose Sharks team that is coming off a 3-2 loss to the Calgary Flames.
