Roberto Luongo R. Luongo

Panthers' Roberto Luongo will man the crease

Florida Panthers goalie Roberto Luongo draws the start in a crucial Game 5 matchup with the New York Islanders.

What It Means:

With the series tied 2-2, Luongo will look to build off his stellar outing in Game 4, when he saved 26 of 27 shots. In four playoff games, he owns a .918 save percentage. He was 35-19-6 with a 2.35 goals against average and .922 save percentage in the regular season.

We give Luongo a 51 percent chance of getting the win tonight, but he's our last-ranked netminder for the four-game slate. Our models project him to allow 2.44 goals on 27.08 shots.
