Knight will defend the road crease in Thursday's clash against the Sabres, per Vinnie Parise of The Hockey News.
Analysis:Knight will be back between the pipes Saturday, looking to bounce back from his season-opening loss to the Golden Knights on Tuesday. He allowed four goals on 36 shots in the 5-2 loss. The 25-year-old backstop showed strong flashes in 2025-26, posting a 19-25-11 record, a 2.82 GAA, a .902 save percentage and three shutouts in 55 regular-season outings. He'll look to earn his first win of the new campaign against a Sabre team that faltered in a 6-3 loss to Columbus on Thursday.
