The Chicago Blackhawks signed goaltender Spencer Knight to a three-year contract extension with a $5.83-million annual cap hit, the team announced Saturday.
Knight posted a .893 save percentage in 15 games with the Blackhawks after being acquired in the Seth Jones trade in March. He had a .901 SV% in 38 total games last season, including his 23 appearances with the Florida Panthers.
The 24-year-old was set to become a restricted free agent next summer. Knight has one year left at a $4.5-million cap hit on his current contract.
