Roberto Luongo News

Luongo starts on Sunday.

Luongo allowed two goals on 30 shots in tough-luck loss to the Sharks on Thursday. It was Lu's second straight loss and he is in danger of losing a third straight tomorrow vs. Dallas. The Stars have been on a tear as of late, so it is a tough matchup for Luongo.

Luongo gets the nod for the Canucks.

Luongo gave up two goals on 24 shots in a big divisional win over the Sharks on Thursday. He has won four of his last six games, while not allowing more than two goals in any of those contests. Luongo has been fantastic as of late and is a must-start regardless of matchup. He has another tough divisional matchup tonight vs. LA.

Luongo turned aside 30 of 32 shots in a shootout loss to the Coyotes on Tuesday. It was another strong performance from Bobby Lu, who hasn't allowed more than two goals in any of his last five games. Tonight he would face a good Sharks team - however they have lost three straight.

Luongo gets the start vs. Phoenix.

Luongo was excellent stopping all 21 shots he faced against the Maple Leafs on Saturday. It was Bobby Lu's second shutout of the season and his fourth win in his last five starts. Tonight he faces the Coyotes and their fourth ranked offence and their red-hot goalie - Mike Smith.

Luongo turned aside 25 of 27 shots in Wednesday's loss to the Red Wings. All-in-all it was a good performance by Luongo, but the game-winner was a weak wrister from the blueline that he could not see. Thins don't get any easier for Bobby Lu tonight with the Maple Leafs in town.

Luongo starts vs. the Red Wings.

Luongo stopped 17 of 19 shots as he eased his way to a victory over the Capitals on Monday. It was his third straight win and now has seven on the season. He will face a Red Wings team who are uncharacteristically bad in offensive end right now - they're ranked 23rd in the NHL in scoring.

Luongo starts for the Canucks.

Luongo allowed four goals on 32 shots in a win over the Islanders on Tuesday. It wasn't the best outing for him, but he still got the W. He will face Cory Schneider again tonight, the last time he stopped 21 of 23 shots in an OT win. He should make for another good start tonight.

Luongo will be back between the pipes after resting on Sunday.

Luongo stopped 25 of 28 shots in a shootout loss to the Penguins on Saturday. He is now 4-3-1 with a 2.47 GAA and .910 SV%, but will look to improve on those numbers against the team that drafted him tonight. That might be easier said than done, as the Islanders rank 11th in scoring and possess the fifth best PP in the NHL. That being said the Canucks hold the best PK, so it should be a great matchup.

Luongo starts vs. Penguins.

Luongo stopped all 25 shots that he faced to record his first shutout on Thursday. The win moved him to 4-3-0 with a 2.42 GAA and .912 SV%. Those a rock solid numbers, but his matchup with the Penguins today - is probably something you want to avoid.

Luongo allowed four goals on 38 shots and was outdone by fellow Canadian netminder Carey Price. His GAA is pushing 3.00 (2.99) and SV% has dipped below .900 (.898). Luongo is typically a slow starter so it isn't time to panic. He has a great matchup against a struggling Flyers offence.
