A monster-sized, athletic, puck stopper, Knight is fundamentally sound and mature in his play. He shows a strong understanding of the technical side of the position and a calm fluidity in his movements. His size allows him to cover a lot of the net naturally and he uses his pads to seal off the ice with ease. When moving, he stays tight and compact in order to minimize any openings. He has quick feet and explosive mobility when needing to move post-to-post quickly. He’s also able to push off the goal line quickly to get to the top of his crease, cutting off shooting angles for the opposition. He rarely moves out of control. Strong structural positioning doesn’t hamper his ability to make a desperation save. He has plenty of patience in his game, though. Efficient in his movement, he’s calm and moves to the top of his crease to cut angles instinctively. He also positions his shoulder posture well and uses his glove to help close off the upper portion of the net. He uses a quick glove hand to snag pucks and also has a solid blocker that he uses to punch pucks out of high-danger areas. Traps plenty of pucks as well, eating up shots to control or eliminate rebounds altogether. He has the mental makeup to quickly forget a bad goal or bad outing and regain focus.
