Roberto Luongo: Upper-Body Injury Not Serious

Coach Gerard Gallant said that the upper-body injury suffered by Luongo in Wednesday's win over the Hurricanes isn't considered serious, George Richards of the Miami Herald reports.

Analysis:

While the Panthers are viewing Luongo as day-to-day after he was reevaluated Thursday morning, he's already been ruled out for Friday's game against the Senators and could be forced to miss a few more contests beyond that. The Panthers will go with Al Montoya, who preserved Luongo's shutout bid in relief Wednesday, as their primary netminder for the time being, with the newly recalled Dan Ellis slotting in as his backup.
