Florida Panthers goalie Roberto Luongo was forced into action Sunday after Al Montoya was on the receiving end of a violent first-period collision with Minnesota Wild defenseman Marco Scandella.
The 31-year-old remained on the ice for several moments before exiting with help from the trainer. It's the second time this season Luongo has been forced into action following an injury to Montoya.

Scandella was assessed a minor penalty on the play despite appearing to be shoved into the goalie by Panthers defenseman Aaron Ekblad.
