Knight was the first goaltender off the ice at morning skate and is expected to get the road start against the Islanders on Saturday, according to Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.

Knight will get his first start in five games, though he came on in relief of Sergei Bobrovsky on Tuesday and stopped all six shots in a 5-1 loss to the Wild. Knight is 1-1-0 in three appearances, turning aside 63 of 70 shots (.900 save percentage). The Islanders have posted 2.43 goals per game in seven appearances this season.
