Knight (illness) won't suit up for Friday's game versus the Canucks, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports.
Knight will miss at least one game, and Arvid Soderblom will start Friday. Caydon Edwards is the emergency backup goalie for this contest but shouldn't be expected to see the ice unless Soderblom gets hurt.

Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Yields three goals in loss
Rotowire
Knight gave up three goals on 25 shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Predators. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Knight had a 2-1 lead to protect in the third period, but he wasn't up to the task.

The 24-year-old is down to 16-17-7 with a 2.63 GAA and a .907 save percentage over 40 games. It's possible the career-high workload is catching up to him, especially with a young defense in front of him.

Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Allows three goals in return
Rotowire
Knight stopped 31 of 34 shots on net in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Oilers.
After missing the team's last two contests due to an illness, Knight had a decent outing that saw his stats get inflated by a late goal from Leon Draisaitl in the final minute of the contest. Overall, the 24-year-old Knight has a 13-12-6 record with a 2.63 GAA and a .910 save percentage through 31 games this season. While his first full season with the Blackhawks has seen its ups and downs, the young netminder has been a positive addition for the team and has kept Chicago in many games with his play alone. He is on pace to set a new career high in nearly all major stat categories, making him a great option for two-goalie fantasy formats for the remainder of the year. His next chance to bounce back is Thursday against Calgary.
