Panthers expected to go with Roberto Luongo on Friday
Florida Panthers goalie Roberto Luongo was the first goalie off the ice on Friday ahead of tonight's matchup with the Nashville Predators.
What It Means:
Luongo has lost three straight contests after allowing four goals on 39 shots against the Winnipeg Jets on Wednesday. He's now 11-10-5 on the year with a .919 save percentage and 2.48 goals-against average. Nashville currently ranks 10th in the NHL with 2.84 goals for per game.
numberFire's models have Luongo as our fifth-ranked option for Friday night's six-game slate, and we project him to allow 2.4 goals on 28.7 shot attempts with a 53.0 percent chance of winning.
