SUNRISE, Fla. -- Spencer Knight made 34 saves for his second shutout of the season, and the Florida Panthers won 3-0 against the Anaheim Ducks at Amerant Bank Arena on Saturday. Jesper Boqvist, Anton Lundell, and Gustav Forsling scored for Florida (27-17-3), which has won two of three and visits Anaheim on Tuesday. Knight also had an assist.

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.”

The Florida Panthers did not have Sam Reinhart for much of their game against the Anaheim Ducks on Saturday night, but they had Spencer Knight. That and a second-period goal from Jesper Boqvist was enough for a win.

Sergei Bobrovsky is the proven veteran. Spencer Knight is on a bit of a hot streak. How does that impact how Paul Maurice is going to handle reps between his two goaltenders?

The Florida Panthers needed a little spark coming into Saturday after winning four of their past 10 games. One would have thought it would be on the offensive side of the ice to do it, but no, it was their goalie.

Sam Reinhart leads the Panthers in goals (27) and points (51), while Matthew Tkachuk is second in both points (40) and assists (26). Recently named the “Athlete of the Year” in his native Finland, captain Aleksander Barkov ranks third in points (38) and first in assists (27).

Florida, on the shoulders of an excellent game by goalie Spencer Knight, defeated the visiting Anaheim Ducks by a 3-0 final score. It was a strong 60-minute effort by Florida, especially when taking into account that they played more than two periods without Sam Reinhart,
