Spencer Knight Gets The Call For Thursday's Game
3 years agoFlorida Panthers goaltender Spencer Knight will guard the crease on Thursday against Tampa as the team completes a back-to-back set. Sergei Bobrovsky beat the Rangers 4-3 with 30 saves on Wednesday and now it's Knight's turn to show what he can do. The 20-year-old has been off form lately, but he carries a strong 5-2-0 home record. He's already beaten the Lightning once this season and takes another crack at them with a 6-4-2 overall record for the season. Knight gave up eight goals in his last start against Ottawa and it's dumped his goals-against average for the season to 3.42. The young netminder has struggled in his recent outings, but Tampa is without Andrei Vasilevskiy (COVID-19 protocols) and that's made the Panthers odds-on favorites for the contest.
