Chicago finally felt the calm presence it hoped for when goaltender Spencer Knight stood tall in a tense 2-1 win over the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday.

Knight recorded 26 saves in a tight game that couldn't have felt more crucial.

The LA Kings' locker room appeared in shambles after the Blackhawks delivered them the loss as frustrations grew from the lack of goals scored amongst their offensive-driven forward group.
The game was tight all night. The opening period ended scoreless despite a bunch of shots combined by both teams.
The scoring came in the second with a power-play goal from Connor Bedard, set up by Tyler Bertuzzi, and later a late second-period tally by Wyatt Kaiser securing the lead.
Knight looked the same after the final whistle as he did between the pipes: calm, composed, and collected.

After the game, Knight spoke about the vibe inside the dressing room. He said:
«That's a team win right there that's just not one person.»

That simple statement reveals a lot about the warmth and confidence he feels within the team and the true vibes of Chicago's locker room.
Knight quietly reminded everyone that this victory was about the group - and that hitting saves in key moments begins with composure in your own head.
For Blackhawks fans, that matters almost as much as the win itself. With Knight in net, Chicago knows it has someone who can stay steady through the ups and downs.
