Blackhawks Promising Goalie Gets Big Praise
The Chicago Blackhawks have plenty of promising young players on their roster. Goaltender Spencer Knight is one of them, as he has the potential to emerge as a very impactful goalie at the NHL level. Knight has already shown promise over his four-year NHL career thus far, as he has recorded a 49-33-9 record, a 2.83 goals-against average, and a .904 save percentage in 95 games. Now, after being traded to the Blackhawks from the Florida Panthers in the Seth Jones deal, he will have the opportunity to finally be a full-time starter. Knight's potential and success so far at the NHL level have now landed him some serious praise. In a recent article for Kevin Woodley ranked Knight as the second-best goalie in the NHL who is under 25 years old heading into the 2025-26 season. The only goalie Woodley had ahead of him was Calgary Flames rising star Dustin Wolf. Overall, when looking at what Knight has done so far during his career, it is certainly fair that he has earned the No. 2 spot on Woodley's list. The 2019 first-round pick has the tools to become something special for the Blackhawks as they look to take that next step, and it will be fun to see what kind of campaign he has in 2025-26 from here.

Ducks goalie Lukas Dostal signs five-year contract, avoids arbitration
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Anaheim Ducks goalie Lukas Dostal signed a five-year contract on Thursday to remain with the team. Dostal made the announcement on a social media post by the team. The agreement means the 25-year-old avoided an arbitration hearing. Dostal had a 23-23-7 record with a 3.10 goals-against average and .903 save percentage for Anaheim last season. 'Lukas has proven he is a No. 1 goaltender and we are so pleased to get this deal done,' Ducks general manager Pat Verbeek said. 'He is just entering the prime of his career with his best hockey ahead of him.' Financial terms were not disclosed. Dostal is excited about the future with a young team that includes forwards Leo Carlsson, Cutter Gauthier and Mason McTavish; defensemen Olen Zellweger, Pavel Mintyukov and Jackson LaCombe, and Beckett Sennecke, the No. 3 pick in the 2024 draft. 'That was one of the reasons that I was willing to sign a long-term deal — because it's always about trusting the process,' he said. 'And I really trust the process that's going on in Anaheim right now.'
