Spencer Knight made 34 saves for his second shutout of the season and the Florida Panthers beat the Anaheim Ducks 3-0 on Saturday night to open a home-and-home set. Jesper Boqvist, Anton Lundell and Gustav Forsling scored.

Panthers goaltender Spencer Knight, who has been playing some excellent hockey of late, had just earned his second shutout of the season after making 34 saves against the Ducks. Eight of those 34 stops were on high danger shots. “He was unreal,” said Panthers center Anton Lundell. “He made some huge saves and kept us in the game.”

Panthers goaltender Spencer Knight is 4-1 with 133 saves on 142 shots (.937 save percentage) with a 1.61 goals-against since Dec. 22.

Backup goalie Spencer Knight made 34 saves to lead the host Florida Panthers to a 3-0 win over the Anaheim Ducks on Saturday night in Sunrise, Fla.

The Florida Panthers needed a little spark coming into Saturday after winning four of their past 10 games. One would have thought it would be on the offensive side of the ice to do it, but no, it was their goalie.

There was a brick wall in the crease on Saturday at Amerant Bank Arena, his name is Spencer Knight.  Knight backstopped the Florida Panthers to a 3-0 win over the Anaheim Ducks as he tied his career-high with two shutouts on the season.

The Ducks dropped their third straight game, finishing their six-game trip with a 1-4-1 record after a 3-0 loss to Florida.

The Florida Panthers did not have Sam Reinhart for much of their game against the Anaheim Ducks on Saturday night, but they had Spencer Knight. That and a second-period goal from Jesper Boqvist was enough for a win.
