Hilary Knight, arguably the greatest goal scorer of her generation, will shift roles this week.
She will be NBC Sports Washington’s inside-the-glass analyst for a Washington Capitals-Chicago Blackhawks game on Saturday.
“To be honest, I want to just make sure I don’t get hit with the puck,” Knight said with a laugh, according to the Washington Post. “But I’m excited to be at ice level and see how the game unfolds.”
Knight previously served as an NBC Sports guest studio analyst for one night during last season’s Stanley Cup Playoffs.
