Panthers at the WJC: U.S. wins gold as Spencer Knight blanks Canada

Florida Panthers goalie prospect Spencer Knight won a Gold Medal following the United States 2-0 win over previously undefeated host Canada at the 2021 IIHF World Junior Championship in Edmonton.

Panthers prospect Devon Levi was between the pipes for Canada, earning a Silver Medal in the tournament.

Dating back to 1996, the first World Junior Tournament to feature a playoff round culminating in a gold-medal game, this game marked the first instance of two goaltenders drafted by the same NHL club facing each other in the championship game.

Both Knight and Levi each recorded three shutouts in the tournament, tying the World Junior Championship record for shutouts in a single tournament.
