Panthers' Spencer Knight: Earns win Saturday
Knight stopped 25 of 28 shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Islanders.
Knight endured a rough start to Saturday's contest and gave up three goals over the first 12 minutes of play, but he settled down afterward and allowed the Panthers to spark an impressive comeback in the final two periods. Knight has gone 2-1-0 with a 3.03 GAA and a .898 save percentage through four appearances this season, and he should remain a solid backup alternative to Sergei Bobrovsky, who should return to the Panthers' crease for Monday's game at Buffalo.

Panthers' Spencer Knight: Slated to start Saturday
Knight was the first goaltender off the ice at morning skate and is expected to get the road start against the Islanders on Saturday, according to Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.
Knight will get his first start in five games, though he came on in relief of Sergei Bobrovsky on Tuesday and stopped all six shots in a 5-1 loss to the Wild. Knight is 1-1-0 in three appearances, turning aside 63 of 70 shots (.900 save percentage). The Islanders have posted 2.43 goals per game in seven appearances this season.

Panthers' Spencer Knight: Needed in relief Tuesday
Knight stopped all six shots he faced after replacing Sergei Bobrovsky to begin the third period of Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Wild.
Knight gave the Panthers a chance to mount a comeback, although they didn't exactly seize it, managing only four shots on net in the final period. The 23-year-old goalie has held up reasonably well to begin the season, posting a 3.04 GAA and .900 save percentage in his three appearances, but Knight's workload is likely to remain small behind Bobrovsky, especially with the latter still hunting for his 400th career win.

Panthers' Spencer Knight: Holds on for win Tuesday
Knight turned aside 35 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Blue Jackets.
The 23-year-old netminder got plenty of help from his posts on the night -- Zach Werenski struck iron on multiple occasions alone -- but Knight also made some big stops, including an absolute robbery of Yegor Chinakhov inside the final minute on what would have been the tying goal. Knight has started two of the Panthers' first five games, going 1-1-0 with an .891 save percentage, and he appears to be settling in nicely as Sergei Bobrovsky's backup.

Panthers' Spencer Knight: In goal against Jackets
Knight will get the starting nod on the road versus the Blue Jackets on Tuesday, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.
Knight will take the second game of a back-to-back after Sergei Bobrovsky was in the crease for Monday's 4-3 win over the Bruins. In his previous appearance this season, the 23-year-old Knight gave up four goals on 26 shots (.846 save percentage) in a losing effort versus Buffalo. The Panthers don't have any more back-to-backs in October, but Knight could still get another game to close out the opening month of the season.

Panthers' Spencer Knight: Rattled by Sabres
Knight stopped 22 of 26 shots in Saturday's 5-2 loss to Buffalo, with the Sabres' final goal getting scored into an empty net.
The Panthers grabbed a 1-0 lead midway through the first period, but the next four goals were all by the Sabres, with Knight getting a clean look at two of them. It wasn't a great start to the season for the 23-year-old netminder, but he should get a chance to shake it off with Florida playing back-to-back games Monday and Tuesday as the team completes a road swing in Boston and Columbus.

Panthers' Spencer Knight: Starting Saturday
Knight will guard the road net Saturday against the Sabres, Doug Plagens of the Panthers Radio Network reports.

Panthers' Spencer Knight: Recalled by Florida
Knight was recalled from AHL Charlotte on Wednesday.
Knight wasn't included on Florida's 23-man roster to begin the regular season, but he'll rejoin the Panthers following their Opening Night win over the Bruins on Tuesday. Chris Driedger was assigned to the team's AHL affiliate to make room on the roster. Knight hasn't appeared in the NHL since the 2022-23 season, when he logged a 9-8-3 record, 3.18 GAA and .901 save percentage over 21 games.

Panthers' Spencer Knight: Not on Opening Night roster
Knight is not among Florida's 23-man roster, David Dwork of The Hockey News reports Monday.
Knight is waivers exempt, so he'll head to AHL Charlotte. It's possible that the 23-year-old will be recalled to the NHL in the coming days if the Panthers are sifting through financial logistics related to the salary cap. The 2019 first-round pick sports a career record of 32-17-6 with a 2.91 GAA and a .906 save percentage in 57 regular-season appearances.

Panthers' Spencer Knight: Sharp in OT win
Knight made 26 saves in Wednesday's 2-1 preseason OT win over the Lightning.
Nikita Kucherov spoiled Kngiht's shutout bid late in the third period with a one-timer off a faceoff in the Florida zone, but it was otherwise a stellar effort from the netminder. The 23-year-old needed a good performance after a bumpy beginning to his preseason. Knight spent all of last season in the AHL as he learned to tame his OCD, but he could be ready for another crack at the NHL as Sergei Bobrovsky's backup.

Panthers' Spencer Knight: Starting versus Tampa
Knight will protect the road goal versus the Lightning in Wednesday's preseason game, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
Knight has struggled in preseason play, allowing seven goals on 53 shots over three appearances (two starts). He's likely in line to play the full game Wednesday, which could be his last chance to audition for the backup job behind Sergei Bobrovsky. Chris Driedger has allowed eight goals on 65 shots over three games this preseason, representing the biggest threat to Knight making the Opening Night roster.

Panthers' Spencer Knight: In blue paint Friday
Knight will be between the pipes for Friday's road preseason game versus Carolina, according to Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.
Knight will make his second appearance of the preseason after turning aside all 19 shots he faced against the Predators on Sunday. The 23-year-old is battling with fellow netminder Chris Driedger for the backup role behind Sergei Bobrovsky ahead of the 2024-25 campaign. Knight's last appeared in the NHL during the 2022-23 season, when he posted a 9-8-3 record with a .901 save percentage and a 3.18 GAA in 21 regular-season games.

Panthers' Spencer Knight: Starting Sunday
Knight will start the Panthers' preseason opener Sunday at home against the Predators, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.
Per Richards, Knight will start the first 30 minutes Sunday before Cooper Black takes over in the second half. Knight went 9-8-3 in the 2022-23 season with a .901 save percentage and 3.18 GAA. The 23-year-old netminder is expected to back up Sergei Bobrovsky this year after spending the 2023-24 campaign in the minors.

Panthers' Spencer Knight: Called up from minors
Knight was recalled from AHL Charlotte on Thursday, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.
Knight has spent the entire 2023-24 campaign in the minors with the Checkers, logging action in 45 regular-season contests in which he posted a 25-14-5 record and .905 save percentage. Even with his promotion, Knight shouldn't be expected to get into any games, primarily serving as an emergency option behind Sergei Bobrovsky and Anthony Stolarz.

Panthers' Spencer Knight: Sent to AHL
Knight (personal) was loaned to AHL Charlotte on Friday.
Knight had a tough go of it last season and entered the NHL/NHLPA player assistance program in March to receive help with managing obsessive compulsive disorder. Knight should get plenty of playing time in the minors, and it wouldn't be surprising if he is eventually called up to compete for the No. 1 goaltending job with the Panthers.

Panthers' Spencer Knight: Preparing for upcoming season
Knight (personal) is training in South Florida in preparation for the 2023-24 campaign, David Dwork of Local 10 Miami reports.
Knight entered the NHL/NHLPA player assistance program in March to receive help with managing obsessive compulsive disorder. While the Panthers made it to the Stanley Cup Final without him, Knight will look to reclaim his place as a part of a goaltending tandem with Sergei Bobrovsky. The Panthers also signed Anthony Stolarz this offseason, so there's no guarantee Knight begins 2023-24 in the NHL unless the team carries three netminders. Given his talent and upside, Knight could still win the backup job outright.

Panthers' Spencer Knight: Out indefinitely
Knight is out indefinitely as he is in the NHL/NHLPA player assistance program, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.
It's been a tough season for Knight who was expected to at least share the Florida goaltending duties alongside Sergei Bobrovsky. Knight was sent to AHL Charlotte over a week ago after a 9-8-3 record with the big club in 21 appearances. He has a 3.18 GAA and .901 save percentage in the NHL this season, but he didn't play for the Checkers after he was sent down nine days ago. His demotion to AHL Charlotte has been canceled.

Panthers' Spencer Knight: Heads to AHL
Knight was reassigned to AHL Charlotte on Wednesday.
Knight has a 9-8-3 record, 3.18 GAA and .901 save percentage in 21 games with the Panthers in 2022-23. He also has a 2.01 GAA and a .918 save percentage in two contests with Charlotte this season. The Panthers have been leaning on Sergei Bobrovsky recently, and Knight has struggled, posting a 4.76 GAA and an .829 save percentage in his last two outings, so this will give him a chance to work things out in the minors. Alex Lyon was summoned by Florida in a corresponding move.
