Luongo joins Patrick Roy on exclusive wins list
Roberto Luongo's longevity continues to help him etch his name in the record books.
The Florida Panthers goaltender hit another milestone Monday, earning his 200th win with the organization in a 3-2 victory over the New Jersey Devils, and becoming only the second netminder in NHL history to notch that many victories with two different teams.

It took Luongo 507 games to win 200 with the Panthers, which works out to a win percentage of only .394. He won 258 in 448 contests with the Vancouver Canucks.
The 38-year-old now has 459 career victories in 979 career games, for a .469 win percentage. He moved into sole possession of fourth place on the NHL's all-time wins list earlier this month, passing Curtis Joseph, who required only 953 games to win 454.
