Luongo suffered an upper-body injury, and his removal from Thursday's game was for precautionary reasons.

Analysis:

It sounds like Luongo will just be day-to-day, but that still leaves his availability in question for Saturday's game against the Habs. With the Panthers far out of the playoff chase and Luongo having started seven of the previous eight games, the team has no good reason to rush him back.
