Panthers goaltender Roberto Luongo, who has come up short in his first four attempts for a 448th career victory that would move him past Terry Sawchuk for sole possession of fifth place on the NHL's all-time list, is day-to-day with an upper-body injury. He was scratched from his scheduled start against the Nashville Predators on Friday after being injured during pregame warmups, and was ruled out after the first period of the Panthers' 2-1 win. James Reimer, who made 28 saves against the Predators, will start in the second half of a back-to-back. Florida recalled goaltender Sam Brittain from Manchester of the ECHL on Saturday. Center Nick Bjugstad, who left the game against the Panthers in the first period with a lower-body injury, was placed on injured reserve. Bjugstad, who missed the first four games of the season with a wrist injury, has one goal and one assist in 21 games. The Panthers, 9-7-3 at home this season, did not hold a morning skate. Florida is 3-1-3 in the second game of back-to-backs.
