6 years agoFlorida Panthers goaltender Roberto Luongo is the likely starter for the team in Tampa on Saturday night. Bobby Lu has shared the crease with James Reimer in recent years and he had only 35 starts last season, so it was far from certain that he would get the nod, but in the end, the 39-year-old netminder managed to win the trust of head coach Bob Boughner. Luongo became the franchise all-time leader in games played, wins, and shutouts last season, and had a very good year overall, posting an 18-11-2 record with a 2.47 goals-against average and a .929 save percentage. He'll be making his 40th career appearance against the Bolts, looking to improve an 18-16-4 record.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
