Spencer Knight missed the game Thursday for the Florida Panthers due to an illness, the Panthers’ official website reports.
Captain Aleksander Barkov will return to the lineup tonight, per Coach Maurice.
Sergei Bobrovsky will be in net.
Radko Gudas, Patric Hornqvist, Spencer Knight (non-COVID illness), and Anton Lundell (non-COVID illness) all will not play tonight.
The Panthers have not announced how long they expect Knight to be out. We know that the illness is not COVID-19, so Knight could play as soon as this weekend when the Panthers have back-to-back games in Tampa Bay versus the Lightning and then at home versus the Seattle Kraken.
