Florida Panthers goaltender Spencer Knight told InGoal Radio that he purposely stays off the ice longer in the summers to manage his development, and that AHL stints remain valuable even after a goalie has established himself as NHL ready. Knight, still just 21, also emphasized finding the balance between being willing to try new things and not chasing change purely for the sake of change.

- Knight shares specifics on glove positioning adjustments he has made while evolving his game in his first two NHL seasons.
- Coveted masks performed strongly in recent NHL testing, with The Hockey Shop Source for Sports breaking down which model may suit different goaltenders.

Feature Interview
presented by NHL Sense Arena
In the feature interview, presented by Sense Arena, Knight is back for a third time on InGoal Radio after spending an hour with us heading into the 2019 NHL Draft, and teaming up with USA playing partner Dustin Wolf for an episode after winning World Junior Championship gold. This time we catch up on Knight’s first two seasons in the NHL, and how the (still just) 21-year-old continues to evolve his game and approach, including finding the balance between being willing to try new things but not always chasing change for the sake of change. Knight talks about everything from why he purposely stays off the ice longer in the summers, to the benefit of AHL stints even after establishing himself as NHL ready, to glove positioning, to what he likes about his Bauer KONEKT skates.
