The Canucks were dominated by the Sharks in their season opener, leading to Luongo facing 35 shots. He allowed four goals and Vancouver lost 4-1. Luongo actually looked good in the contest despite the not so good looking numbers. Tonight they will face a youthful Oilers team still with pivots Sam Gagner and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. Luongo should be a fine option on this busy NHL night.
Luongo is once again the number-1 goalie in Vancouver. Last season he went 9-6-3 with a 2.56 GAA and .907 SV% while splitting time with Cory Schneider. Luongo will be John Tortorella's workhorse this season. He should start at least 60 games and with a solid team in front of him Lu should be able to win 35 games.
Luongo played well but allowed three goals on 28 shots in the Game 1 loss. He will start game 2 because Cory Schneider still is not ready to return. Luongo is not a bad option so Canucks fans should not panic.
Cory Schneider was dealing with an undisclosed injury at the end of the season and it will keep him out of Game 1. Luongo has had a frustrating season, but a good performance in Game 1 could go a long way. He finished the season at 9-6-3 with a 2.56 GAA and .907SV%. It will be Luongo's first start vs. the Sharks this year.
General manager Mike Gillis told the media on Thursday that the move was designed to give Cory Schneider a few extra recovery days as he deals with an undisclosed injury. Luongo allowed two goals on 29 shots in a loss to the Ducks on Thursday. He will get the call again tonight against an Edmonton team that tore it up last night. He has a pretty good chance to record a win tonight.

Luongo allowed two goals on 22 shots in his last start. Tonight will mark his 15th start of the season and his first since March 30th. He is 0-1-0 with a 3.04 GAA and .875 SV% vs. the Flames this season.
This will be Luongo's fourth consecutive start for the Canucks. He went 2-1-0 with a 3.24 GAA and .884 SV% in his three starts last week. He has a tough matchup tonight vs. a good Minnesota team. He is 1-0-0 vs. the Wild this season.
Luongo allowed 4 goals on 33 shots but still recorded the win yesterday vs. Nashville. In his one start vs. the Red Wings this season he was lit up for eight goals. He will look to avenge that performance tomorrow in Vancouver where he is 4-0-2 with a 1.91 GAA and .927 SV% this season.
Luongo played very well in his last start stopping 26 of 27 shots in a 2-1 shootout win vs. the Blue Jackets. He will be back in the cage tonight when the Canucks take on a Predators team who are coming off of a 4-0 shutout win over Dallas.
Luongo has only started once since February 24th, and will face a surging Blue Jackets squad. His fantasy value is very murky at the moment but don't be afraid to start him.
In Luongo's last start he was lit up for eight goals by the Red Wings. He will be between the pipes tonight vs. the Flames which is a great matchup for Luongo making him a great fantasy start.
Luongo recorded a 23 save shutout in his last outing vs. Nashville. He has still not lost in regulation this season (5-0-3) and is 1.45 GAA leads the NHL and his .945 SV% is good for second. Luongo has been great all season and is a must-start when he gets the call for Vancouver.
Luongo sat out the Canucks last two games while Cory Schneider started, but it will be Luongo between the pipes tonight. He will have to play well because he is going up against one of the leagues best goalies in Pekka Rinne. Should be a great goalie battle.
The Blues will pose one of the toughest tests for Luongo so far this season as he's embraced his "backup" role and is leading the league in GAA.
