"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Roberto Luongo will return to Florida, where he played five seasons earlier in his career. (Jeff Vinnick/Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Vancouver Canucks have traded veteran goalie Roberto Luongo to the Florida Panthers, according to Renaud Lavoie of\u00A0&lt;em&gt;Journal de Montreal&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The three-time All-Star had seen his playing time diminish last season, but he regained his spot as Vancouver's No. 1 goalie this year. Speculation regarding a Luongo trade intensified as the deadline approached, and Luongo was benched in favor of Eddie Lack for last weekend's Heritage Classic game.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In exchange for the 34-year old Luongo, the Panthers will send goaltender Jakob Markstrom and center Shawn Matthias to Vancouver, according to Chris Johnston of Rogers SportsNet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MUIR: Blues top Week 20 power ranking as NHL trade deadline looms&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Luongo had previously played for Florida from 2000-2006.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;#panthers are sending Jacob Markstrom and another player to #canucks for Roberto Luongo #tvasports&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2014 Renaud Lavoie (@LavoieRenaud) March 4, 2014&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It sounds like Shawn Matthias is heading to the #canucks along with Jacob Markstrom.\n\u2014 Chris Johnston (@reporterchris) March 4, 2014&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
