Knight will start vs. Philadelphia on Tuesday.

The Blackhawks' struggles continue amid a five-game losing skid with Connor Bedard (upper body) out of the lineup, turning to Knight to hopefully lead them to a victory on Tuesday against the Philadelphia Flyers.

Levshunov will draw back into Chicago's lineup in Montreal on Thursday.

Levshunov was a healthy scratch in Chicago's most recent game, resulting from a coach's decision after being late for a team meeting. He returns to the lineup on Thursday against the Montreal Canadiens. Strong play from Levshunov rewarded him with overtaking a role on Chicago's top powerplay unit, but he has cooled down lately. He has 14 points (1G / 13A) in 31 games this season, but has only one assist in his last seven games

Knight will start in Montreal on Thursday.

Knight has received very little goal support between the pipes lately, with his team scoring two or fewer goals in four of his last five outings (2-3-0), despite posting a serviceable 2.60 GAA and .902 SV% in those games. The 24-year-old Knight has a solid 2.55 GAA and .914 SV% in 23 games this season, but his team has fallen down the standings in recent weeks. The Blackhawks enter the action on Thursday as +158 road underdogs against a Montreal Canadiens team coming off a 4-1 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers.

Knight will start in Toronto on Tuesday.

The Blackhawks have lost four of seven in December (2-4-1), and few players have stood out, but Knight has remained serviceable between the pipes despite poor team efforts, posting a 2.60 GAA and .903 SV% in five outings (2-2-1). The 24-year-old goalie has a 2.52 GAA and .915 SV% in 22 games this season (10-7-5). The Blackhawks enter Tuesday's contest as +174 road underdogs against a Toronto Maple Leafs team that has earned points in six of its last seven games (4-1-2).
