Spencer Knight Records First NHL Victory
4 years agoFlorida Panthers goaltender Spencer Knight registered his first NHL victory in his first career start in Tuesday's 5-1 defeat of the visiting Columbus Blue Jackets. The 19-year-old, who just signed an entry-level contract with the Panthers last month following his sophomore season at Boston College, stopped 33 of 34 shots against in the contest. One of the top goaltending prospects in the game, Knight (7% owned in Yahoo! leagues) has a real opportunity to showcase value during fantasy playoffs should he continue to hold down backup duties behind starting netminder Sergei Bobrovsky. He'll likely get take the crease next in a back-to-back set versus the Stars early next week.
