SUNRISE, Fla. — Spencer Knight made 34 saves for his second shutout of the season and the Florida Panthers beat the Ducks 3-0 on Saturday night to open a home-and-home set.
The Ducks dropped their third straight to finish 1-4-1 on their six-game trip. John Gibson stopped 42 shots.
Anaheim entered the game averaging am NHL-worst 2.42 goals per game and was shut out three times during its trip.
Jesper Boqvist, Anton Lundell and Gustav Forsling scored. Boqvist opened the scoring midway through the second period with his career-high 11th of the season. Lundell scored in the third, and Forsling added an empty-netter.
Florida scoring leader Sam Reinhart received a game misconduct for a kneeing major against Isac Lundestrom in the first period. Lundestrom had to be helped off the ice and to the dressing room.
Jake Guentzel scores the only goal in the shootout to lift the Tampa Bay Lightning to a 4-3 victory over the Ducks.
It was just the fifth shutout of Knight’s career. His last shutout was a 6-0 win over Carolina on Nov. 30. Knight came in Thursday in a loss to Detroit after Sergei Bobrovsky was pulled.
Both teams struggled on the power play, each going 0 for 2.
The teams will meet again Tuesday night in Anaheim.
