Set to start Tuesday Knight will tend the twine on the road against the Devils on Tuesday, Rob Darragh of the Panthers' official site reports.

Knight has made six starts since the beginning of December, going 3-2-1 with a 3.45 GAA and .864 save percentage during that time.

Earns SO win Friday Knight stopped 29 of 31 shots in Friday's 3-2 shootout win over the Penguins.
Impact Knight got the start after sitting out Florida's last two games and delivered a solid showing, allowing just two goals and stopping both shots during the shootout. Knight has made six appearances since the beginning of December, going 3-2-1 with a 3.45 GAA and an .864 save percentage. However, he's posted a save percentage of .900 or higher in two of his previous three starts, so he might be trending in the right direction of late.

Solid output Sunday Knight stopped 19 of 21 shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Lightning.
Impact Knight made his first start since Dec. 14 and delivered a solid performance between the pipes against one of the best offenses in the Eastern Conference. Knight should return to his regular backup duties for the second leg of this back-to-back rematch against Tampa Bay. Through four appearances in December, Knight has gone 2-1-1 with a 3.74 GAA and a .847 save percentage, so he hasn't exactly done enough to show he deserves more playing time, either.

Impact It'll be just the second start in eight games for Knight, who's 5-5-1 with an .890 save percentage and 2.85 GAA on the season. The 23-year-old netminder will have a tough task against a Tampa Bay team averaging a league-best four goals per game.

Receives no support in loss Knight stopped 24 of 27 shots in Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Flames.

Hangs on for wild win Knight made 29 saves in Thursday's 7-5 win over the Flyers.
Impact Florida took a 3-0 lead three minutes into the second period only for Philly to come roaring back, and the Flyers grabbed their first lead of the game at 5-4 early in the third when Garnet Hathaway banged home a rebound on a scramble in front of Knight. The 23-year-old netminder locked things down the rest of the way though, and the Panthers found a late push to avoid disaster. Knight has given up 10 goals on only 50 shots over two starts in December while Sergei Bobrovsky (personal) has been away from the team, but the veteran could be back as soon as Saturday. On the season, Knight sports a 2.83 GAA and .890 save percentage to go along with a 5-4-1 record in 11 appearances.

In goal Thursday Knight will get the starting nod on the road against the Flyers on Thursday.
Impact Knight underwhelmed in his last outing, giving up five goals on 16 shots (.688 save percentage) in a 5-4 overtime defeat to the Penguins on Tuesday. With Sergei Bobrovsky (personal) not making the trip, the 23-year-old Knight will make his third straight start for the Panthers. Once the Cats are back in Florida, Bobrovsky should retake the starting role versus San Jose on Saturday.

Struggling to keep lights on Knight made 11 saves in a 5-4 loss to Pittsburgh on Tuesday.
Impact Knight sat back in the third and watched his teammates roar back from a 4-1 deficit with three goals in 4:33 to force OT. The winner came on a 2-on-1 just 1:31 into the extra frame. Knight will be the guy in the blue paint while Sergei Bobrovsky (personal) is away from the team because of the birth of his child. Unfortunately, he's 1-3-1 including a shutout in his last five starts. He has allowed 12 goals in the other four games. Knight may not be your best option right now, but don't count him out either - the kid's elite talent will keep him in games and help you win.

The Connecticut native posted his first shutout of the season Saturday in a 20-save, 6-0 win over Carolina. Knight has yet to face the Penguins in his four-year NHL career.

First shutout of season Knight made 20 saves Saturday in a 6-0 win over Carolina.
Impact The Hurricanes didn't show up for this game, but that doesn't de-value the win or shutout, which was Knight's first of the season and fourth of his career. And it was the young netminder's first since Nov. 9, 2022, when he made 40 saves in a 3-0 win, also against the Hurricanes. The victory snapped a three-game skid for Knight, who's a worthy fantasy activation in daily given the talent and talons of the kitties in front of him.
