Panthers' Roberto Luongo: Hoping to pick up slack against Flyers

Luongo will protect the road net from the Flyers on Thursday, George Richards of the Miami Herald reports.

Analysis:

To say that Luongo's recent track record has been inconsistent would be a gross understatement. For example, he made quick work of the Hurricanes for a home win Tuesday, but he's also had terrible outings this calendar year, including save percentages of .857 (vs. Calgary) and .750 (vs. LA) -- just to name a few. The veteran's next draw comes against a Philadelphia team that ranks 19th in the league at 2.72 goals per game at home, albeit with a putrid minus-62 goal differential.
