There was a restriction imposed on LNG today to prevent further
shorting. I think it's an SEC restriction (like VHC and SWKS has
also). It gets lifted after the close today.
I use three different brokerages and IB shows wheter it is hard
to borrow and this new notification about restrictions for
shorting. It doesn't have an indication for being hard to borrow.
That I would have assumed to be similar...yet it must have hit some
other limitation before it got hard to borrow.

If it was restricted I would assume that we should see a higher put volume then call volume on the stock, but today was the opposite.

My broker still shows it as hard to borrow... probably depends on your broker?
