Roberto Luongo News

Luongo will start vs. the Red Wings.

Luongo allowed three goals on 27 shots in the Panthers loss to the Blues on Monday. He will get the call vs. Detroit tonight, which means Al Montoya is likely for Saturday.

Luongo gets the start for the Panthers.

Luongo allowed three goals on 20 shots in the Panthers shootout loss to the Blue Jackets on Thursday. Sergei Bobrovsky was ridiculous at the other end of the rink and Bobby Lu was unable to match him. However, tonight he faces the Sabres, who he has shutout three times in a row.

Luongo (arm) will travel on the Panthers two-game road trip.

Luongo missed Friday’s game with an arm injury that he suffered on Wednesday. The Panthers will bring all three of their goalies on the short road-trip, which is good news that Bobby Lu won’t be out for long. Monitor his status during Monday’s morning skate.

Luongo’s arm injury is “not serious” according to GM Dale Tallon.

Luongo suffered the arm injury in the Panthers win over the Hurricanes on Monday. He stopped all 11 shots he faced before retiring to the dressing room for the night. With Lu out, Al Montoya gets the start on Friday with Dan Ellis serving as his backup.
