Luongo (shoulder) is slated to start Tuesday's game against the Bruins, George Richards of the Miami Herald reports.

Analysis:

Luongo didn't start Sunday against Ottawa because his shoulder tightened up following Saturday's loss to Montreal, but a little rest was evidently all that he needed for the issue to settle down enough to be back in net for Tuesday's key showdown against the Bruins, who hold a four-point lead on the Panthers in the Eastern Conference standings.
