Luongo day to day after suffering injury vs. Hurricanes

Roberto Luongo left Friday's game against the Carolina Hurricanes after sprawling out in a failed effort to prevent a goal late in the first period.

The Florida Panthers later ruled him out for the remainder of the contest with what the club classified as a lower-body injury, and The Athletic's George Richards reported that the veteran goaltender is day to day.

Panthers head coach Bob Boughner confirmed Luongo's status Saturday, according to Richards.

Luongo departed after allowing Jordan Martinook's marker with about 38 seconds remaining in the opening frame.

James Reimer replaced him in the Panthers' crease.

Luongo was playing his ninth game of the season after missing time earlier in the campaign with a knee injury suffered in Florida's season opener.
