The Chicago Blackhawks' goalie tandem of Spencer Knight and Arvid Soderblom ranked 29th among NHL tandems heading into the 2025-26 season. The ranking placed Chicago ahead of the San Jose Sharks, Philadelphia Flyers, and Pittsburgh Penguins, and just behind the Seattle Kraken, Columbus Blue Jackets, and Buffalo Sabres. Knight posted a 5-8-2 record with a 3.18 GAA and .893 save percentage in 15 games after the Seth Jones trade and owns a 49-33-9 career record with a .904 save percentage and 2.83 GAA across 95 NHL games. Soderblom signed a two-year, $5.5 million contract after a career-best 33-game season (10-18-7, .898 SV%, 3.18 GAA). Both goalies are young and carry potential to improve and move up future rankings if they progress in development.
Knight is a young goalie looking to prove that he can be a legitimate NHL starting goalie. In 15 games with the Blackhawks after being acquired from the Florida Panthers in the Seth Jones trade, Knight recorded a 5-8-2 record, a 3.18 goals-against average, and a .893 save percentage. In 95 games over four NHL seasons, the former first-rounder has recorded a 49-33-9 record, a .904 save percentage, and a 2.83 goals-against average.
Soderblom, on the other hand, just landed a two-year, $5.5 million contract this summer after having the best season of his NHL career thus. In 33 games, he recorded a 10-18-7 record and set new career bests with a .898 save percentage and a 3.18 goals-against average. Overall, while the Blackhawks' goaltending may have some doubters heading into the new season, the potential for them to improve is certainly there.
