"Roberto Luongo won't get to renew his rivalry with the Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday.

Vancouver's No. 1 goalie won't play because of what Canucks coach Alain Vigneault labeled an "upper-body injury." Luongo, who missed practice Monday and Tuesday, was listed as day-to-day, leaving backup Cory Schneider to face the Blackhawks.

"It's nothing serious," Vigneault said of Luongo.

Luongo, who was expected to make his sixth straight start, including a 38-save, 6-2 win in Chicago on Nov. 6, hasn't been on the ice since stopping 23 shots in Sunday's 4-1 victory against the New York Islanders. He appeared to be in discomfort at one point during the third period, and Schneider even began to loosen up on the bench, but Luongo and Vigneault downplayed it after the game."
