Marc-Andre Fleury News

Filip Gustavsson was projected to start for Minnesota on Monday against the Colorado Avalanche, but he has been battling an illness that has prevented him from skating for a few days, resulting in Fleury being between the pipes for a second consecutive game. Fleury allowed five goals on 37 shots (.865 SV%) in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Nashville Predators. The veteran netminder has a 2.72 GAA and .906 SV% in 16 appearances this season (9-4-1). Minnesota enters Monday's contest as +199 road underdogs against a Colorado Avalanche squad coming off a 6-3 win over the Dallas Stars.

Minnesota has not been as dominant as they were at the start of the season, partly due to key injuries, losing three of their last four games (1-3-0). Their one win came with Fleury between the pipes when he saved 36 of 37 shots (.973 SV%) in a 3-1 victory over the San Jose Sharks. The veteran netminder has a 2.54 GAA and .910 SV% in 14 games this season (9-3-1).

Fleury is battling an illness and might not be able to serve as Filip Gustavsson's backup on Thursday against the Colorado Avalanche. If Fluery is not able to suit up, expect Minnesota to recall Jesper Wallstedt from Iowa (AHL) to serve as Gustavsson's backup.

Minnesota will turn to Fleury between the pipes for the first time in two weeks.

He was excellent in his last outing, saving 21 of 22 shots (.955 SV%) in a 4-1 win over the Philadelphia Flyers.

The veteran Fleury has a 2.71 GAA and .905 SV% in eight appearances this season (5-1-1).

Minnesota will turn to Fleury between the pipes for the second time in the last three games in what may be the veteran netminder's final game in Pittsburgh against the Penguins, the team that drafted him. Fleury struggled in his first game of the season, allowing four goals on 34 shots in a 5-4 shootout loss to the Seattle Kraken, and did not get another chance to play for nearly two weeks but was stellar in that performance, saving 24 of 26 shots (.923 SV%) in a 4-2 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning. Minnesota enters the action on Tuesday as -118 road favorites against a Pittsburgh club riding a five-game losing skid.
