Panthers' Roberto Luongo: Expected to face L.A. on Saturday

Luongo is expected to start Saturday's game against the Kings, Forrest Lee of NHL.com reports.

Analysis:

Luongo was forced out of Wednesday's game in San Jose due to cramping issues, but he participated in the morning skate on Friday. It has been a trying season for Luongo, as he has managed just 15 wins so far this season. If James Reimer continues to produce when called upon, he might eat into Luongo's playing time down the road. The veteran Luongo has devolved into a No. 2 fantasy backstop in most formats with his disastrous season.
