Luongo ties Sawchuk for 5th-most wins all time
by from on (#261AY)
Jaromir Jagr should save some of the limelight for Roberto Luongo.
On the same night Jagr tied Mark Messier for second on the NHL's all-time scoring list, the Florida Panthers netminder collected win No. 447, tying Terry Sawchuk for the fifth-most wins in NHL history.
Luongo accomplished the feat after the Panthers withstood a late Buffalo Sabres surge, en route to a 4-3 shootout win.
The 37-year-old matched Sawchuk's mark in 22 fewer games.
Luongo is likely to move even further up the all-time wins list, as seven more victories will match Curtis Joseph's career total of 454.
