The Panthers have loaned Spencer Knight to Charlotte (AHL).

Knight has been out since January 8th, so he'll go to the AHL for conditioning. With Sergei Bobrovsky getting hurt on Thursday, Knight may have to shoulder the load for the Panthers moving forward. It's unclear if Knight will return to the NHL for Saturday's game or not.
