from George Richards of the Miami Herald,
On Thursday, both teams came out hard charging with Luongo making 13 saves before leaving after the first period with what the team said is a “lower body” injury believed to be related to the hip injury which needed surgery following last season.
Luongo alluded to such and injury in an interview with the Miami Herald on Sunday and aggravated it during the first period.
Luongo looked to be in pain as he pulled himself off the ice yet finished the final 5:28 of the first — including killing off Philadelphia’s 5-on-3 chance during that period.
Coach and general manager Tom Rowe said Luongo would be out a week although it could be longer than that.
