Canuck’s goalie Luongo out with rib injury
A rib injury prevented goaltender Roberto Luongo from playing Monday night in L.A.
Luongo, who was the runner up for the Hart and VeZina Trophies last season, suffered the rib injury after a hard shot found a “soft spot” in his equipment in the Dec. 2 game against Minnesota. Despite aggravating the rib again in Chicago on Wednesday, he played again Saturday against Pittsburgh, but said that it continually got worse during the game.
Luongo is 13-10-3 with 4 shutouts and is fifth in the NHL with 2.12 goal- against average and a .925 save percentage.
Backup goalie Curtis Sanford is expected to fill in for Luongo until he is ready to return.
