When the Florida Panthers selected Spencer Knight with the 13th pick on June 21, 2019, they found their goalie of the future. The Panthers had never really had a homegrown goaltender—Roberto Luongo was originally drafted by the New York Islanders.
Spencer Knight spent the majority of his time off during the NHL’s break for the 4 Nations Face-Off back home in Connecticut. He took the week-and-a-half respite to catch up with family and friends, along with the occasional workout. Most importantly to Knight, though, his time at the rink was minimal.
