Ground gained: Panthers, Luongo bounce back with key 2-0 shutout over Canadiens

The Florida Panthers and goaltender Roberto Luongo bounced back from a sub par performance against Edmonton with a solid, and much-needed, 2-0 road win over the Montreal Canadiens on Monday night at Bell Centre.

After a slow start that saw Antti Niemi deny Evgenii Dadonov on a breakaway, the Cats picked things up late in a penalty-filled first period and took the lead when Aaron Ekblad picked off a clearing attempt and slickly worked his way by Jeff Petry and beat the Montreal goaler with a sweet backhand with 1:29 left in the frame.
