Loses low-scoring game

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.”
