Luongo will be between the pipes for Friday's home matchup with Montreal, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Luongo initially struggled in his return from injury, but the veteran netminder is now 3-1-0 with a 2.89 GAA in his last four outings. The Montreal native is 17-14-7 with a .926 save percentage in his 39 games versus his hometown club and will square off with backup Antti Niemi.

Luongo kicked back 33 of 34 shots in Saturday's 2-1 road win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Luongo allowed five goals on 22 shots to the Maple Leafs his last time out, but he was able to avenge for that stinker by limiting the damage against a Red Wings club that is now only one point ahead of the Panthers in the Atlantic Division standings. Still, the celebrated goalie in his 18th season needs to regain the form that saw him sandwich four wins between Nov. 2 and Nov. 13. Indeed, Luongo's 2018-19 campaign has primarily been comprised of injuries and inconsistent play.

Luongo will make a road start versus the Red Wings on Saturday, Steve Goldstein of Fox Sports Florida reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's been tough sledding for Luongo in December, as the 39-year-old netminder has gone 3-3-1 with a 3.21 GAA and .897 percentage over seven games. However, it's worth noting that counterpart Jonathan Bernier has posted similar numbers on the season, and the Red Wings are ranked sixth and only three points ahead of the Panthers within the shared Atlantic Division. The matchup simply could be much worse for Bobby Lou.

Luongo will be between the pipes for Thursday's clash with Toronto, Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Luongo is coming off back-to-back victories and will look to make it three in a row against the Maple Leafs. In his previous matchup with Toronto, the veteran netminder allowed three goals on 32 shots for a .906 save percentage and victory. Stopping the league's second best offense (3.65 goals per game) again won't be an easy task for Luongo.

Luongo will guard the cage in Tuesday's road game against the Sabres, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Luongo has struggled recently, compiling a 1-2-1 record in his last four appearances while posting a sub-par 3.66 GAA and .882 save percentage over that span. The 39-year-old netminder will look to get back on track and pick up his seventh victory of the campaign in a tough road matchup with a Buffalo team that's 11-3-2 at home this year.

Luongo made 29 saves in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
It was Bobby Lou's first win since Dec. 4 and just his second since his return from injury. And his third in his last 10 starts. Florida has struggled mightily this season -- they're way better than their record suggests. If Luongo can get things on track, the kitties will, too.

Luongo will patrol the crease Saturday as a home starter versus the Maple Leafs, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Luongo surrendered four goals apiece in his last three starts, but the Panthers sent traditional backup James Reimer between the pipes against the visiting Wild on Thursday, only to watch him struggle to the tune of five goals allowed on 26 shots in a 5-1 loss. Looking ahead, Bobby Lou will prepare to face the league's fifth-ranked offense with the Leafs averaging 3.56 goals per game.

Luongo made 22 saves in a 5-4 shootout loss to the Rangers on Saturday night.
EDGE Analysis
Since mid-November, Luongo has just a single win in seven starts. Bench him until you see signs of life in his game. He's too much of a risk right now.

Luongo will start in goal Saturday, taking on the Rangers at home, George Richards of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Luongo owns a 5-4-0 record with a 2.85 GAA and .911 save percentage over 11 games this season. The 39-year-old's numbers don't jump off the charts, but Bobby Lou is playing reasonably well considering he's had to work through a couple of knee injuries. His next challenger is a Rangers team that ranks 24th in the NHL in road scoring at 2.38 goals per game, so consider teeing up Luongo in DFS contests.

Luongo made 32 saves in a 5-2 loss to the Avalanche. He allowed four goals.
EDGE Analysis
The game was tighter than the score indicated. It was knotted at twos until the Avs went up 3-2 at the 6:21 mark of the third period. Luongo's fantasy value lies somewhere between this performance as the shutout he tossed out in his last game. But it was just his second game back after injury, so we'll give him a couple more games to settle into a groove.
