The Blackhawks will turn to Knight between the pipes for the 45th time this season when they host the Wild on Tuesday.

The 24-year-old netminder carries a 17-19-8 record and a .908 SV% into Tuesday night's matchup, where the Blackhawks enter action at +145 on the money line.

Boisvert was drafted 18th overall by Chicago in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft and has since signed a three-year, entry-level contract. The 19-year-old forward had a successful 2025-26 campaign at the collegiate level, scoring 17 points (3G / 14A) in 26 games with Boston University.

With Spencer Knights recently returning from an illness, Soderblom has seen a heavier-than-usual workload and will return to the crease on Thursday against the Utah Mammoth.

The Blackhawks enter Thursday's contest as sizeable +196 road underdogs against a Mammoth team they have defeated twice in the last two weeks.
