Roberto Luongo is on his usual November tear. What makes this one odd is it started after an injury.

Luongo, a notorious slow starter every season and after any past prolonged absence, went into Saturday night's game against Edmonton with a .934 save percentage and 1.77 goals-against average in six appearances since missing two weeks with a rib fracture. And that includes two goals on 17 shots in two periods of surprise relief work during his first game back.

Luongo's best games have been his most recent, giving up one goal in both a loss to Chicago Sunday and a win over Los Angeles on Thursday, the latter including several spectacular show-stoppers among his 31 saves.

"I'm seeing the puck well, and this is something to build off of," Luongo said.
