Luongo (upper-body) was reportedly injured during warmup, forcing James Reimer to start and Panthers’ account executive Bobby Segin to strap on the pads as an emergency backup.
The 37-year-old has an 11-10-5 record this season and remains just one win away from passing the great Terry Sawchuk for fifth on the NHL’s all-time wins list.
Bjugstad was forced to leave during the first period with a lower-body injury.
The 24-year-old has struggled to stay healthy this season, not making his debut until Nov. 22 due to a broken hand suffered in pre-season.
He has just one goal and one assist in 20 games.
