CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. -- Roberto Luongo will be back in net for the Florida Panthers when they face the Winnipeg Jets at BB&T Center on Saturday (7 p.m. ET; FS-F, SN, NHL.TV).
Panthers coach Gerard Gallant made the announcement after practice Friday.
Luongo hasn't played since allowing five goals on 28 shots last Saturday in a 5-0 loss against the Nashville Predators. The previous night, Luongo was pulled after the first period of a 5-3 loss against the St. Louis Blues after giving up three goals on 13 shots.
Al Montoya was in net for a 2-1 shootout victory against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Monday and a 2-1 shootout loss against the San Jose Sharks on Thursday, his first consecutive starts of the season.
