2022 Fantasy Outlook
Those hoping Knight would be able to steal the No. 1 job from incumbent Sergei Bobrovsky came away disappointed last year. Knight, No. 13 overall pick from the 2019 draft, played 32 games in his age-20 rookie campaign in 2021-22, posting a 19-9-3 record, a 2.79 GAA and a .908 save percentage. The Panthers have a new coach in Paul Maurice, and it's possible he could view things differently than the combination of coaches Andrew Brunette and Joel Quenneville did a season ago, but the more likely scenario is that Florida deploys its top-two goaltenders in a similar fashion in 2022-23, which would severely hamper Knight's fantasy value. Of course, he's also a potential league-winner should anything happen to Bobrovsky. Knight has considerably more value in keeper/dynasty formats than redraft leagues. Read Past Outlooks

Out indefinitely

Knight is out indefinitely as he is in the NHL/NHLPA player assistance program, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
It's been a tough season for Knight who was expected to at least share the Florida goaltending duties alongside Sergei Bobrovsky. Knight was sent to AHL Charlotte over a week ago after a 9-8-3 record with the big club in 21 appearances. He has a 3.18 GAA and .901 save percentage in the NHL this season, but he didn't play for the Checkers after he was sent down nine days ago. His demotion to AHL Charlotte has been canceled.

2021 Fantasy Outlook
One of the most decorated goaltending prospects in recent memory, Knight stepped right off the Boston College campus into the Florida lineup in mid-April. All told, Knight appeared in six games for the Panthers, including a pair of playoff contests. His numbers were exceptional (5-1-0, 2.23 GAA, .925 save percentage) and it's easy to see why Knight is held in such high esteem among NHL talent evaluators. Chris Driedger was claimed by Seattle in the expansion draft, leaving Knight and the pricey Sergei Bobrovsky as Florida's goaltending duo heading into the 2021-22 campaign. Knight would be the clear frontrunner for playing time if all things were equal, but they aren't. Keep an eye on this competition because Knight would be a legitimate No. 1 fantasy netminder if he can wrestle the job away from Bobrovsky.
