NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Roberto Luongo didn’t get too excited after his latest shutout. He is more concerned with getting the Florida Panthers back in the Stanley Cup playoff race.
Luongo made 28 saves for his 73rd career shutout, leading the Panthers to a 3-0 win over the New Jersey Devils on Monday night.
“I want to get some wins and our goal is to make the playoffs,” Luongo said. “That’s what my focus is on, 100 percent.”
Luongo, tops among active goalies in shutouts, got his first of the season to move three behind Ed Belfour and Tony Esposito for ninth all-time.
