Knowling was the 127th overall pick by San Jose in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Knowling was the No. 1 goaltender for the US NTDP this past season and finished the year as the top-ranked North American netminder by NHL Central Scouting. He played for Team USA at both the World U18’s and World Juniors, although he posted a save percentage below .900 everywhere he played, including the two international tournaments. Knowling’s play is often inconsistent, but he’s also 6-foot-5 and north of 200 pounds. He moves well for a big kid, so the upside is legitimate if he can clean up some shortcomings in his game. Knowling, who was born in Toronto and has dual citizenship, is a 2027-28 commit to Boston University.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This page may contain affiliate links.
