BUFFALO, N.Y. - Told he had again moved up a notch in the record books with his latest shutout in Buffalo, Florida Panthers goalie Roberto Luongo had just one question:When do we come back?Luongo made 30 saves for his 68th career shutout -- and third-straight in Buffalo -- to lead the Panthers past the Sabres 2-0 on Friday night.The shutout moved him past Roy Worters for 13th all-time after he passed Patrick Roy with a win on Oct. 17 in Buffalo.I enjoy playing in this building and Im having success, Luongo said. Maybe sometimes you get in another teams head or whatnot, but I just try to do my job and take the wins.Brad Boyes and Nick Bjugstad scored for Florida, which won for the first time in three games.No. 1 overall draft pick Aaron Ekblad picked up his 21st assist to tie Ed Jovanovskis franchise scoring record for rookie defencemen.Michal Neuvirth made 31 saves for Buffalo, which has lost three in a row.The Panthers came out of the gate fast, outshooting Buffalo 19-7 in the first period and coaxing Luongo into joking that I was tweeting during an inactive first 20 minutes.The first period was great, Panthers head coach Gerrard Gallant said. If we can play like that every period, wed be real happy.Florida started the scoring at the 3:29 mark when Sabres defenceman Tyson Strachan missed the puck on a clearing attempt and the Panthers worked the puck to Boyes, who scored alone in front of the net.The former Sabre has points in five straight games against Buffalo, and has a 6-2 record against his old team since joining Florida.Whether we win by playing well or we win by being outplayed, were at a point now where we need points — and we won, Boyes said.With Mike Weber in the box for an interference penalty, Bjugstad made it 2-0 with a power-play goal at 11:51 when he tapped home Jimmy Hayes rebound.The opening period didnt sit well with Sabres head coach Ted Nolan.Our first period was God-awful, Nolan said. We tried a little bit in the second and got better as the game went, but not enough.Buffalo started to come around in the second period, putting 11 shots on goal.Luongo made a left pad save on Tyler Ennis shot midway through the second to keep Floridas two-goal lead.Patrick Kaleta intercepted a bad clearing attempt in the Florida slot moments later, only for Luongo to push the puck out of play.Luongo keeps us in it, Bjugstad said. They are usually really close, low-scoring games (with Buffalo). Luongo played great tonight and its a big shutout for him.Buffalos best chances of an otherwise stagnant third period came with about 6 minutes to play as Luongo used his blocker to stop Zemgus Girgensons backhand shot.Mikhail Grigorenko redirected two point shots at Luongo, but the Panthers netminder turned aside both.Nolan pulled Neuvirth with just under three minutes to play, and Luongo was quickly tested by Girgensons and Chris Stewart.Luongo also has shut out the Sabres in four of his last five starts, all wins. He hasnt allowed a goal in Buffalo since Feb. 11, 2006.Thats unbelievable, Gallant said. Hes played well, hes focused. And he gets prepared for every game the same way.Webers penalty was the only infraction called in the game until Dave Bolland was called for tripping with 38 seconds to play.NOTES: With Rasmus Ristolainen back in the lineup, Sabres D Mark Pysyk was sent back to Rochester of the AHL. ...

Robertson is moving from an eighth-inning setup man to closer following Riveras retirement. "Its the same deal," Robertson said Tuesday after a pre-spring training workout at the Yankees minor league complex. "Throwing the eighth or ninth inning, youve still got to get three outs. Youve got to be effective. You cant give up a lead. Im not going to try to overthink the whole situation." Rivera has said that Robertson is the right man for the role. The former teammates spent time together last month at the New York baseball writers dinner. "First thing he said is, You scared?" Robertson recalled. "Im like, No. Its typical Mo. Hes all over my case already. I havent even thrown a pitch yet, and hes on me. He knows I can do it, and I think I know I can do it. Its just a matter of actually stepping out there and doing it." Given the chance to fill in as closer when Rivera injured a knee in 2012, Robertson strained muscle in his left ribcage. Rafael Soriano took over as closer for the rest of the season. Robertson went 5-1 with a 2.04 ERA in 70 games last year, striking out 77 in 66 1-3 innings. "Hes been in some huge situations here," Yankeees pitching coach Larry Rothschild said.dddddddddddd "Hes been around Mo. Hes in a good position to know what he has to do. Hes done everything that you could ask him to do to this point to become a closer. Now its just a matter of executing the pitches. Unless he gets overwhelmed by the situation, I dont anticipate major problems." Rothschild also said CC Sabathia has increased his throwing program during the off-season to build up arm strength and stamina. Coming off elbow surgery to remove a bone spur in October 2012, Sabathia was 14-13 with a 4.78 ERA last year. "The last couple winters, three or four really, he hasnt been able to do a lot with going back to his knee and then the elbow last winter," Rothschild said. "Hes been able to do a lot more this winter, so coming into spring training I think hell be in a little different place than he has been the last couple years." NOTES: Rothschild has had email communication with Japanese RHP Masahiro Tanaka. "Theres going to be adjustments hes going to have to make," Rothschild said. "Hes got the presence of mind to know what he needs to do to adjust when he gets here." ... SS Derek Jeter, limited to 17 games last season due to injuries, took 48 swings during his second day of batting practice. ' ' '
