Spencer Knight Shines in NHL Debut

Does it ever drive you crazy just how fast the (K)night changes?

Three weeks ago, Spencer Knight signed his entry level contract with the Florida Panthers, leaving Boston College after two phenomenal seasons as starting goalie. Tonight, he made his NHL debut, wearing his BC mask and Team USA pads with his Panthers sweater.

And boy, what a debut it was.

Knight — who became the first goaltender born in the 2000s to appear in an NHL game — saved 33 of 34 shots to backstop the Panthers to a 5-1 win against the Columbus Blue Jackets, earning first star of the night honors for his performance.
