Luongo (shoulder) got back on the ice with a win Thursday, stopping 26 of 27 in a 3-1 victory over the Red Wings. It was his first appearance in 16 days, dating back to when he left the Panthers' March 3 contest against Toronto after suffering the shoulder injury. And it comes at a good time, as the Panthers will need Luongo's stability in goal more than ever as they face an uphill battle for the East's final playoff spot.
