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. |

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 Finals 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 potential, Knight could still win the backup job outright. |

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 the netminder 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 Florida in 21 appearances. He has a 3.18 GAA and .901 save percentage in the NHL this season, but did not play for the Checkers after he was sent down nine days ago. His demotion to AHL Charlotte has been canceled. |

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. |

Knight stopped 12 of 14 shots after replacing Sergei Bobrovsky midway through the second period of Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Predators. - Bobrovsky took the loss, but Knight wasn't a whole lot sharper, and neither goalie got much help from their defense. Knight has allowed seven goals on 41 shots over two appearances since returning from an upper-body injury, and he'll likely remain behind Bobrovsky in the pecking order until he begins to string together some solid performances. |

Knight will guard the road goal versus the Blues on Tuesday, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports. - Knight will make his first appearance since Jan. 8 in this contest after dealing with a couple of injuries and a conditioning stint with AHL Charlotte. He'll work the second half of a back-to-back Tuesday, though the Blues' offense isn't overly threatening.

Knight (undisclosed) was reassigned to AHL Charlotte on Friday. - Knight was on the injured reserve list just prior to this move. He last played Jan. 8, so sending him to the minors is a chance to let him shake off the rust before he resumes playing for the Panthers. In that regard, this could be looked at as a conditioning stint even though the Panthers aren't using that destination. The 21-year-old has a 9-7-3 record, 3.06 GAA and .906 save percentage in 19 games with Florida this season. |
None |
| Jan. 10, 2023 |

Knight gave up four goals on 34 shots in Friday's 4-0 loss to the Hurricanes. - The Panthers' offense went from seven goals Thursday to nothing Friday, giving Knight no support in his first start since Dec. 19.

This was Knight's third straight loss, and he's allowed 14 goals over that span. He's now at 8-6-3 with a 3.00 GAA and a .907 save percentage in 17 appearances. With Knight's struggles, expect Sergei Bobrovsky to continue to see a majority of the starts when both are healthy. |

Knight allowed seven goals on 26 shots, suffering a 7-3 defeat to Boston on Monday. - Knight seemed to struggle all game, putting up a .731 save percentage while giving up multiple goals in every period against Boston. This game continues his struggles from his last start against Winnipeg where he was eventually pulled after allowing three goals on 15 shots. On the season, however, Knight has played well so far posting an 8-4-3 record with a 2.64 GAA and a .919 save percentage in 14 starts.

The 21-year-old netminder lasted just 21:43 against the Jets' offense, which entered the matchup leading the NHL with an average of 38.6 shots per game. With the Panthers going 3-4-3 in their last 10 games, it will be interesting to see if Knight (8-4-3) continues to get the bulk of the starts in favor of Sergei Bobrovsky, who stopped 14 of 15 shots in relief Tuesday. |

Knight stopped 32 of 33 shots in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Canucks. - Knight gave up a goal to Dakota Joshua in the second period, but the Panthers never let the Canucks back in.

Knight stopped 16 of 17 shots after replacing Sergei Bobrovsky to begin the season period of Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Stars. - Bobrovsky was victimized by some poor defensive play in front of him and gave up four goals before getting the hook, but Knight played well enough to at least give the Panthers a chance to rally. Unfortunately, the one goal he allowed proved to be the game-winner, saddling him with the loss. The 21-year-old continues to out-perform his veteran teammate, and through eight appearances this season Knight sports a 5-3-0 record with a 2.25 GAA and .923 save percentage. |
None |
| Nov. 12, 2022 |
Knight will be in the home crease against Edmonton on Saturday. - Knight will make his third straight start as Sergei Bobrovsky will once again be on the bench.

Knight will guard the road goal during Saturday's preseason finale versus Tampa Bay, David Dwork of Local 10 Miami reports. - Knight was pretty solid in his last preseason appearance Saturday against the Hurricanes, turning aside 43 of the 47 shots he faced.

Knight made 24 saves in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Predators. - Ryan Johansen beat him early in the first period, but Knight slammed the door shut on Nashville the rest of the way. The young netminder has won four straight decisions and six of his last seven, posting a 2.18 GAA and .915 save percentage over that stretch, and while the Panthers' offense can make any goalie look good, coach Andrew Brunette could have a tough decision to make in the crease come playoff time given Sergei Bobrovsky's 3.93 GAA and .861 SvP over that same period of time. |

He stopped 19 of 21 shots. - Knight has appeared in each of Florida's last three games, sandwiching a start between two relief appearances. A furious Florida comeback got him into the win column in his previous relief outing, and the Panthers erased the 4-1 deficit Knight inherited in this one to earn him a third consecutive victory and the fifth in his last six decisions. Bobrovsky has had a brilliant season as Florida's starter, but he appears to be embarking on a late-season slump, which could lead to an outsize role for Knight down the stretch. |

Knight stopped all six shots he faced after replacing Sergei Bobrovsky to begin the third period of Saturday's 7-6 overtime win over the Devils. - The 20-year-old goalie looked like he was just coming in to play out the string with New Jersey ahead 6-2, but a miraculous Florida comeback wound up handing Knight a win instead. He's now 5-2-1 in eight appearances since the beginning of March with a 2.18 GAA and .921 save percentage, and Knight could begin to see more action down the stretch at Bobrovsky's expense. |

Knight will protect the road goal Thursday versus the Golden Knights, David Dwork of Local 10 Miami reports. - Knight will make a third straight start after allowing just four goals on 63 shots in his last two games. The 20-year-old netminder has won three of his last five games and seems to be chipping away at Sergei Bobrovsky's grasp on the No. 1 job in net, though it's too soon to say Knight is the top goalie. The Golden Knights could be ornery Thursday after going 0-5-0 during their road trip that ended Tuesday. |
None |

Knight will start Sunday in Los Angeles. - The 20-year-old was recalled from AHL Charlotte on Friday and will look to build on his .902 save percentage, 3.10 GAA and 10-6-2 record with the big club this season. The Kings just suffered back-to-back losses to division rival San Jose by a combined score of 9-3, so they'll no doubt be looking to get back on track in this one. |

Knight is set to start in goal for Tuesday's road game versus the Flames, George Richards of Panthers Press Box reports. - Knight will make his first NHL appearance since Dec. 14 when he starts in Calgary. The 20-year-old goalie has been a little shaky with a 3.39 GAA and an .896 save percentage this season, but he should receive plenty of goal support from a Panthers team that has scored 54 goals in its last nine games. He's facing a Flames team that has lost four straight contests. |

Knight was reassigned to AHL Charlotte on Thursday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports. - Knight allowed a whopping eight goals on 38 shots Tuesday against lowly Ottawa and gave up four goals on 30 shots in his start prior to that, so clearly the organization feels its 2019 No. 13 overall pick needs to re-calibrate in the minors. With a 3.42 GAA and .892 save percentage through 13 games with the Panthers this year, it's hard to argue that, but fantasy managers will undoubtedly be disappointed after Knight's fantastic NHL debut last season. |

Knight stopped all 19 shots he faced to pick up the win after replacing the ineffective Sergei Bobrovsky in Thursday's 7-4 victory over Buffalo. - Bobrovsky got the hook when Buffalo took a 4-1 lead 11:16 into the second period, and the move woke up Florida's offense, as the Panthers outscored Buffalo 6-0 during Knight's time in the cage. Knight improved to 6-3-1 with a 2.88 GAA and .908 save percentage, but he's still the clear No. 2 to Bobrovsky, who's 10-1-2 with a 2.38 GAA and .923 save percentage. |

Knight will start against visiting Seattle on Saturday, David Dwork of Local 10 Miami reports. - Sergei Bobrovsky played Friday, so it'll be Knight's crease on the second half of the back-to-back set.

Knight will be between the pipes for Thursday's home game against the Devils. - Knight's last two appearances were far from stellar as he gave up 10 goals on 48 shots (.792 save percentage), including giving up six to New Jersey on Nov. 9. The young netminder will no doubt be eager for some modicum of revenge and should benefit by playing at home. Even if he puts together a strong outing, the Connecticut native has been outplayed by veteran Sergei Bobrovsky to start the year and shouldn't be expected to take too many starts down the stretch outside of back-to-backs. |
