Marc-Andre Fleury News

Minnesota is coming off arguably their worst performance of the season with Filip Gustavsson between the pipes, a 6-0 loss to the Ottawa Senators, and will switch to Fleury on Tuesday against the Boston Bruins. Fleury saved all 19 shots he faced in his most recent outing, a 4-0 win over the Montreal Canadiens for his first shutout of the season. The 40-year-old netminder has a 2.60 GAA and .908 SV% in 18 appearances this season (11-5-1). Minnesota enters the action on Tuesday as +118 road underdogs against a Bruins club coming off a 6-3 win over the New York Rangers.

Minnesota will turn to Fleury between the pipes in the tail end of a back-to-back on Thursday when they visit the Montreal Canadiens. Fleury struggled in his most recent outing, allowing five goals on 29 shots (.828 SV%) in a 5-4 loss to the Calgary Flames. The 40-year-old netminder has a 2.76 GAA and .904 SV% in 17 appearances this season (10-5-1).

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. Fleury was unsuccessful in his most recent outing, allowing two goals on 18 shots (.889 SV%) in a 2-1 loss to the Utah Hockey Club. The veteran 40-year-old Fleury has a 2.81 GAA and .898 SV% through 11 games this season (6-3-1). Minnesota enters Thursday's contest as +142 road underdogs against a Washington Capitals team coming off a 3-1 win over the Boston Bruins.

Filip Gustavsson remains sidelined with a lower-body injury, giving Fleury his third start in the last four games. Fleury struggled in his previous outing, allowing six goals on 33 shots (.818 SV%) in a 6-1 loss to the Florida Panthers. He has a 2.88 GAA and .898 SV% in 10 appearances this season (6-2-1). Minnesota enters Friday's contest as a -123 home favorite against the Utah Hockey Club, winners of three straight.

With Filip Gustavsson (lower body) still sidelined, Fleury will return to the crease for the second time in the last three games. The 40-year-old Fleury has been solid when called upon this season, posting a 2.51 GAA and .909 SV% in nine appearances (6-1-1). He was excellent in his last outing, saving 21 of 22 shots (.955 SV%) in a 4-1 win over the Philadelphia Flyers. Minnesota enters Wednesday's contest as +126 home underdogs against a Florida Panthers club that has been shut out in two of their last three games (1-2-0).

Minnesota had a forgetful performance on Thursday, a 7-1 loss to the Edmonton Oilers, and will turn to Fleury between the pipes on Saturday against the Philadelphia Flyers. Fleury entered the crease in relief of Filip Gustavsson in Thursday's loss, allowing two goals on nine shots (.778 SV%). The veteran Fleury has a 2.71 GAA and .905 SV% in eight appearances this season (5-1-1).

On the front end of a back-to-back, Minnesota will turn to Fleury between the pipes on Friday against the Chicago Blackhawks. Fleury has only played once in the last three weeks but has been serviceable in limited action this season, posting a 2.76 GAA and .904 SV% in five games (4-0-1). Minnesota enters Friday's contest as sizeable -258 home favorites against a Chicago club coming off an impressive 6-2 win over the Dallas Stars.

Fleury has seen limited action lately but will be in the crease for Minnesota on Thursday, only his second start in November. The veteran 39-year-old Fleury has been serviceable when called upon this season, posting a respectable 2.70 GAA and .904 SV% in four games (3-0-1). That said, Minnesota enters Thursday's contest as +135 road underdogs against an Edmonton Oilers club without Zach Hyman (undisclosed).

On the front end of a back-to-back, Minnesota will turn to the veteran Fleury between the pipes on Thursday against the San Jose Sharks. The 39-year-old Fleury has been serviceable in limited action this season, posting a 2.93 GAA and .899 SV% in three outings (2-0-1). Minnesota only has two regulation losses this season (8-2-2), tied for the second-fewest in the NHL. They enter Thursday's contest as sizeable -252 road favorites against a Sharks club that ranks in the bottom five of the NHL offensively, averaging only 2.4 goals per game.

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.

Minnesota, one of four teams without a regulation loss (4-0-2), will turn to Fleury between the pipes for the first time since their second game of the season on October 12th. Fleury was serviceable in his only performance of the season, allowing four goals on 34 shots (.882 SV%), ultimately falling in a shootout to the Seattle Kraken. Despite their early-season success, Minnesota is a +131 road underdog on Thursday against the Tampa Bay Lightning, coming off an 8-5 victory over the New Jersey Devils.

Filip Gustavsson was solid in the season opener for Minnesota, a 3-2 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets, but he will serve as the backup to Fleury on Saturday against the Seattle Kraken. The goalie carousel is in full effect in Minnesota between Gustavsson, Fleury, and Jesper Wallstedt. The 39-year-old veteran Fleury appeared in 40 games (17-15-5) for Minnesota last season, posting a 2.98 GAA and .895 SV%. His 36 starts last season were his fewest in over a decade, a number that is likely to drop more this season.

Rumours of retirement have been put to rest as Fleury will continue his prolific NHL career for at least one more season. The 39-year-old Fleury has lost his footing slightly but was still serviceable between the pipes for Minnesota this season, posting a 2.98 GAA and .895 SV% in 39 games (17-14-5).

Fresh off of signing a one-year, $2.5 million contract extension, Fleury will start between the pipes for Minnesota's final game of the season. Fleury has struggled lately, allowing four or more goals in four of his last five (1-3-1), posting an ugly .823 SV%. That said, he was stellar in a 5-2 win over the Seattle Kraken in February, saving 30 of 32 shots (.938 SV%). Minnesota enters action as a -149 home favourite.
