Roberto Luongo News

Streit took shot that hit Luongo in mask Sunday. Goalie then stretched groin going across crease for rebound. Luongo not practising today.

Luongo has not practiced for two straight games and remains questionable for tomorrow's game against the Blackhawks. Stay tuned for a further update on the injured netminder.

It’s not going to win everyone over, and it may not last. But for one game he handled it perfectly. It was a step in the right direction.

If Luongo is to succeed this year he will need to be more mentally prepared for his opponent. His new-found accountability certainly helps him approach such a lofty task. Nevertheless, his opening night .893 SV% is well below his .919 career average.

Luongo will be making his 25th career start against the Penguins tonight and he'll be looking to improve his 13-8-1 career record against the flightless birds. He also has a career 2.78 GAA and .911 save percentage along with four shutouts versus Pittsburgh.

He was on the wrong end of a 3-1 decision in his last start against the Pens, however, back on November 17, 2010 in the lone meeting between Vancouver and Pittsburgh last season. He gave up three goals on 29 shots that night for the loss. [VancouverCanucks.com]

In the moments following a Game 6 loss in Boston, Canucks head coach Alain Vigneault said that Roberto Luongo will be his starting goalie in Game 7 on Wednesday, despite being pulled early in Game 6 after an embarrassing performance in which the veteran netminder allowed three goals in just 8:35.
