Panthers' Knight enters player assistance program
by Kyle Cushman from on (#696QE)
Florida Panthers goaltender Spencer Knight will be unavailable indefinitely while he receives care from the NHL/NHLPA player assistance program, the league announced Friday.
Knight will continue to be paid while receiving treatment and can return to the Panthers once program administrators clear him for on-ice competition.
The 21-year-old has a .901 save percentage and a 9-8-3 record in 21 appearances this season. Knight last played on Feb. 18 when he replaced Sergei Bobrovsky midway through the Panthers' 7-3 loss to the Nashville Predators.
Florida drafted Knight 13th overall in 2019.
