Goalie “Florida Panthers” Spencer Knight has retired indefinitely and will undergo treatment under the player assistance program, according to the official website of the National Hockey League (NHL).
The NHL Assistance Program helps players in the treatment of alcoholism or drug addiction, as well as various psychological problems.
It should be noted that the 21-year-old caretaker will continue to receive a salary during treatment. He will return to the club when the program administrators allow him to compete on the ice.
This season, Knight has played 21 regular season NHL games with the Florida Flames and has nine wins with a 3.18 reliability rating and 90.1% save percentage.
The first goalkeeper of “Florida” is Russian Sergey Bobrovsky.
