Rookie goalie Spencer Knight made 45 stops and the Florida Panthers got goals from four different skaters to upend the New Jersey Devils by a 4-1 count at FLA Live Arena.
Knight delivered a big bounce-back performance after giving up six goals on 30 shots in a 7-3 loss to the Devils last week. The 20-year-old entered the game on a two-game losing streak.
After Knight stopped the first 16 New Jersey shots, Dougie Hamilton, who did not play in that first meeting, opened the scoring 13;37 into the first when he cruised down into right circle to take a pass from Jimmy Vesey and fired a shot off the goalie’s upper arm, the post and in.
