Luongo ready for return as Canucks host Coyotes

Jan 15, 2009 - 11:46 AM Phoenix (21-18-5) at Vancouver (22-18-5), 10:00 pm EST

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Ticker) -- The Vancouver Canucks hope the return of their superstar goaltender can get them back on track.

Captain Roberto Luongo is expected back in the crease when the Canucks host the Phoenix Coyotes on Thursday.

Since losing Luongo to a groin injury on November 22, Vancouver has posted a 9-12-3 record. As a result, the Canucks fell from the Northwest Division lead to seven points behind the Calgary Flames.

Before the injury, Luongo was outstanding. The 29-year-old went 11-5-2 with a 2.17 goals-against average and five shutouts.

Vancouver will rely on Luongo to help it end a five-game losing streak at GM Place and a three-game slump overall.

The Coyotes are continuing a four-game road trip, with the final three stops in Western Canada. Phoenix was handed a 6-3 loss in Minnesota on Tuesday.
