Roberto Luongo will patrol the crease in Sunday's Game 6 matchup with the Islanders.

Luongo will patrol the crease in Sunday's Game 6 matchup with the Islanders, Arthur Staple of Newsday reports.

Analysis:

Despite a tremendous effort in Game 5, setting aside 40 of the 42 shots he faced, Luongo was slapped with the loss after allowing a double-overtime goal to the Isles' Alan Quine. The veteran will look to stave of elimination in Sunday's Game 6, but will have to hold his own on the road at the Barclay's Center in order to do so. However, Luongo and the Panthers did take a game on the road earlier this season, so don't count them out yet.
