Golden Cats: Panthers goalie prospects Knight, Levi in World Junior final

Rarely have the Florida Panthers had so much riding on the gold medal game of the World Juniors but Tuesday night, with goalie prospects Spencer Knight and Devon Levi in opposing nets, they really cannot lose.

Knight, Florida’s first-round pick in 2019, is expected to be the starting goalie when Team USA plays Canada at 9:30 (NHL Network) in the championship bout.

Opposing Knight will be Levi, Florida’s final pick of the 2020 draft in October, a player GM Bill Zito credited Roberto Luongo identified as a target for the Panthers whose stock has shot through the roof during his amazing run in this tournament.
