Roberto Luongo was perfect at the Discover NHL Shootout at the All-Star Skills Competition, making nine saves on nine shots to anchor a runaway win for the Eastern Conference.
With Luongo in net, the East saw an eight-goal swing fall in its favor, eventually winning the event with 20 goals to the West's four.
I went 9 for 9 in the shootout tonight! Maybe it really is time to consider bigger nets..... #NHLAllStar

John Scott missed on both his attempts on New Jersey Devils goaltender Cory Schneider, but perhaps should have scored after executing a cheeky spin on his second.
