Injury Report - Luongo out 4 - 5 weeks

After Pavol Demitra returned from injury and was lined up with the Sedin twins, things were looking up for the Vancouver Canucks. However, the team recieved the worst news of all as they found out today that they will be without their star goalie and league shutout leader (5) for several weeks.

NHL.com reports that Vancouver goalie and captain Roberto Luongo will be out for four to five weeks with an abductor strain. Backup goalie Curtis Sanford will be his replacement in nets.

Instant Analysis - This is a major blow for the Canucks who had just beaten 2 very good teams in the NY Rangers, and Minnesota Wild on their road trip. Luongo had 3 back to back to back shutouts in November and 5 on the year. Cheer up Canuck fans! New Jersey lost Martin Brodeur and they're on a 4 game win streak! If you have goalies in your pool you are either rejoicing at the fact that you didn't use an early pick on a goalie or cursing the hockey gods right now.
