SUNRISE, Fla. -- Spencer Knight made 34 saves for his second shutout of the season, and the Florida Panthers won 3-0 against the Anaheim Ducks at Amerant Bank Arena on Saturday. Jesper Boqvist, Anton Lundell, and Gustav Forsling scored for Florida (27-17-3), which has won two of three and visits Anaheim on Tuesday. Knight also had an assist.

The Florida Panthers did not have Sam Reinhart for much of their game against the Anaheim Ducks on Saturday night, but they had Spencer Knight. That and a second-period goal from Jesper Boqvist was enough for a win.

As they arrive in California, they'll look to sweep the Anaheim Ducks after the Panthers scored a 3-0 win Saturday night at Amerant Bank Arena. Then it's on to Los Angeles, San Jose and Las Vegas completing the four-game road trip.

Sam Reinhart leads the Panthers in goals (27) and points (51), while Matthew Tkachuk is second in both points (40) and assists (26). Recently named the “Athlete of the Year” in his native Finland, captain Aleksander Barkov ranks third in points (38) and first in assists (27).

Panthers goaltender Spencer Knight, who has been playing some excellent hockey of late, had just earned his second shutout of the season after making 34 saves against the Ducks. Eight of those 34 stops were on high danger shots. “He was unreal,” said Panthers center Anton Lundell. “He made some huge saves and kept us in the game.”

The Ducks dropped their third straight game, finishing their six-game trip with a 1-4-1 record after a 3-0 loss to Florida.
