| So far, Roberto Luongo has certainly earned that controversial C on his jersey this season. In his last six starts, Luongo has 4 shutouts, and has helped the Vancouver Canucks | Canucks rebound after a slow start. Vancouver went 4-6 in their first ten games, but Luongo has been nothing short of unbeatable in his last few outings.  > |
The Canucks will take on the Colorado Avalanche in a Western Conference matchup later tonight, where Luongo hopes to keep his current streak going. He already has over 200 minutes of game play since he last allowed a goal, spanning back to 18:52 of the second period of last Sunday’s loss to the Detroit Red Wings.
The longest shutout streak is currently held by Brian Boucher, who set it in 2004, with 325:45 of playing time over 5 shutout victories. Luongo would have to play a little over 6 more periods of shutout hockey to set the record on his current streak.
