Luongo is slated to start Thursday's road game against Boston, the Sun Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

Luongo -- who was in net for Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Red Wings -- will thus return to the Florida net Thursday after giving way to Al Montoya in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Rangers. Thursday's tilt marks the second leg of back-to-back games for Boston and figures to be an intense one, with the Bruins and Panthers jostling for playoff slotting (along with the Lightning) in the Atlantic Division.
