Panthers' Roberto Luongo: Gets starting nod for Thursday's contest

Luongo will guard the goal in Thursday's home game against the Penguins, Harvey Fialkov of the Sun Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

Luongo is coming off a four-goal dud against Boston on Monday, but he owns strong ratios for the season -- a .926 save percentage and 2.14 GAA. The 37-year-old netminder will look to get back on track in a tough home matchup with a red-hot Penguins team that has racked up an astounding 19 goals over its last three games.
