Roberto Luongo had been tied with Hall of Famer Terry Sawchuk on the NHL’s all-time win list for almost three weeks.
Monday night, Luongo finally got sole possession of fifth.
Luongo looked terrific as he backstopped the Florida Panthers to a 3-0 win over the host New Jersey Devils at Prudential Center.
The victory was No. 448 for Luongo — who had not been in the personal win column since Dec. 20 against the visiting Sabres.
Next up for Luongo is Curtis Joseph (454 wins) and one-time Florida goalie Eddie Belfour (484). Belfour replaced Luongo in Florida’s net for what was his final NHL season after Luongo’s controversial (and lopsided) trade to Vancouver in 2006.
