Panthers' Roberto Luongo: Guarding cage Saturday

Luongo will see shots from the Canucks as Saturday's home starter, Steve Goldstein of FOX Sports Florida reports.

Analysis:

The Panthers have dropped four straight games, and that certainly won't quiet the controversy that stems from the firing of coach Gerard Gallant in late November. Luongo has struggled with a 2.78 GAA in four games this month, and he's only faced the Canucks seven times in a 16-year career -- of course, Bobby Lu had been with that club for eight seasons.
