BUFFALO, N.Y., Oct. 17 (UPI) -- Roberto Luongo made 25 saves in recording a shutout Thursday, carrying the Vancouver Canucks to a 3-0 victory over Buffalo.
It was Luongo's 63rd career shutout and came in his 754th appearance for the Canucks over 14 seasons.

They were coming off their lone win of the season, a shootout decision over the New York Islanders on Tuesday.
Vancouver scored once in each period , the first goal coming from Chris Higgins with 5:07 to go in the opening stanza.
Brad Richardson had a shorthanded goal in the second period and Ryan Stanton tallied midway through the third.
Ryan Miller allowed all three goals on 34 shots.
