In the first meeting, Luongo gave up four goals on 24 shots in a 4-2 loss.

Luongo will miss his third straight game on Wednesday and head coach Bob Boughner said he has an “outside chance” to play this week. It seems more likely that Luongo will return to the crease next week, leaving James Reimer and maybe Michael Hutchinson to split their Friday/Saturday back-to-back.
Luongo was forced to leave Friday’s game in Carolina with a lower-body injury, that is not believed to be related to the knee injury that he suffered earlier in the season. With Luongo banged up, look for James Reimer to start on Saturday.

Luongo allowed two goals on 31 shots in the Panthers win over the Islanders on Saturday. Luongo has won three in a row while allowing a combined five goals on 92 shots (.946 SV%). Luongo will look to stay hot against Brian Elliott, who is equally as hot—winning four straight games with a .960 SV%.

Luongo allowed two goals on 34 shots in the Panthers win against the Jets in Finland. It was an impressive return to the crease for Luongo, who had been sidelined since October 6th. So far this season, Luongo has stopped 45 of 47 shots (.958 SV%) and makes for a decent option against an Oilers team that will be playing their eighth game in 13 days.
Luongo stopped all 13 shots that he faced in the Panthers season opener in Tampa Bay before leaving the game with a knee injury. Luongo went on to miss nine games, but will start the Panthers’ second game vs. the Jets in Finland. Patrik Laine scored a hat-trick to push the Jets passed the Panthers yesterday.
Head coach Bob Boughner said that Luongo is “close” to returning but it is still unlikely that he starts a game in Finland. Look for Luongo to be ready when the Panthers return home to face the Oilers next Thursday.
Luongo is closing in on a return from a knee injury that he suffered in the season opener, but will miss at least the next two games. Head coach Bob Boughner said the plan for Luongo is to “play next week when we get home.” Look for Reimer to start Thursday and potentially Michael Hutchinson on Friday.
Luongo hasn't played since suffering an MCL injury in the Panthers' season opener. The 39-year-old net-minder posted an impressive .929 SV% in 35 appearances for Florida last season. While he is the number one goalie on their depth chart, Luongo should continue to regularly concede starts to backup James Reimer when he returns to the lineup. Reimer has struggled so far this season, registering a 0-2-1 record and a .867 SV% in four appearances.
Luongo got tangled up with teammate Frank Vatrano while trying to make a save on Saturday and was forced to leave the game with a right knee injury. Luongo will undergo further tests to determine the severity of the injury, but early indications are that it is not serious. James Reimer will take over as the Panthers’ No.1 and Michael Hutchinson will be recalled to replace Luongo while he is out.
