Spencer Knight's comeback story will continue in Charlotte, after the Florida Panthers loaned their young goaltender to the team's AHL affiliate on Friday. Knight hasn't played in a game that counts for Florida since Feb. 18. Knight knew this was a possibility entering camp, especially with Sergei Bobrovsky locked in as the No. 1 goalie.

Vegas' problem is it can't copy what the Lightning accomplished just two seasons ago because Tampa Bay's repeat was achieved in a much different fashion than what the Knights are trying to do. The Knights are trying to go back to back after a short offseason, following the NHL's more traditional timeline.
