Marc-Andre Fleury News

With Filip Gustavsson still out of the lineup for the foreseeable future, Minnesota turned to rookie Jesper Walstedt in between the pipes on Wednesday, but after allowing seven goals on 34 shots (.794 SV%), they will turn back to the Fleury. Since Gustavsson's injury, Fleury and the Wild have struggled immensely, but it's not all on the veteran netminder. Despite recording just one win in seven games since Fleury took over, Minnesota has been limited to only 12 total goals, not a recipe for success given Fleury's pedestrian .892 SV% in that span. That said, Minnesota is a slight -111 home favourite against a Philadelphia Flyers club that has lost five of their last seven games (2-3-2).

Fleury will start the third straight game with Filip Gustavsson sidelined for the foreseeable future with a lower-body injury. Fleury has played well over the last several weeks, allowing three or fewer goals in six of his last seven appearances (3-3-0), posting an impressive .922 SV%. Minnesota is a +107 home underdog on Thursday against the Tampa Bay Lightning, who have lost three of their last four games (1-3-0), outscored 15-9.

With Filip Gustavsson expected to be on the injured reserve for the next several weeks with a lower-body injury, Fleury will return to the crease for Minnesota on Tuesday. The 39-year-old Fleury has played well since the start of December, posting an impressive .919 SV% in six appearances (3-2-0). That said, the Wild have lost two straight (0-2-0) and are slight +101 road underdogs on Tuesday against the Calgary Flames, who have lost two of their last three games (1-2-0).

Minnesota will turn to Fleury on the back end of a back-to-back when they face off against the Boston Bruins. The veteran netminder and future half-of-famer has only played one of the last seven games for Minnesota as Filip Gustavsson has demanded the crease with exceptional play lately. Fleury has a 3.29 GAA and .887 SV% through 11 games this season (4-5-2) while posting a quality start rate of only 45.5%, the lowest total of his career.

Fleury will be back in the Wild crease on Sunday for the first time since November 19th after Filip Gustavsson got the nod in each of Minnesota's last four games. Fleury took the overtime loss against the Maple Leafs his last time out, surrendering four goals on 25 shots. He will be hoping to get his season back on track on Sunday in a favourable home matchup against the Blackhawks.

He will be hoping to get his season back on track on Sunday in a favourable home matchup against the Blackhawks.

The Wild already announced that Filip Gustavsson will start Sunday in Detroit, so the Wild may need to call-up a backup if Fleury is not available. The 38-year-old has endured a horrific start to his 2023-24 season, with his 3-4-2 record, 3.46 GAA and .875 SV%.

Fleury will be back in the Wild goal on Sunday after Filip Gustavsson got the call against the Sabres on Friday. Fleury seems to have a slight edge over Gustavsson on the Wild starting job at the moment, as Sunday will mark the fourth time Fleury's been between the pipes in Minnesota's last five games. The 20-year veteran has been particularly solid of late, registering a .914 SV% over his last three starts. He draws a challenging matchup at home on Sunday against the Stars.

Fleury was expected to take a backseat at the start of the season, but the 38-year-old veteran netminder will start for the fourth time in the last six games as he has been the more reliable option between the pipes for the Wild so far this season. Through six games (3-2-1), Fleury has a 2.69 GAA and .899 SV%, highlighted by saving 40 of the last 43 shots he has faced (.930 SV%) in his last two appearances. The Wild are +106 road underdogs against a New York Rangers team that will likely turn to Louis Domingue as their starting goalie on Thursday.

Fleury picked up the rare relief win in the Wild's previous game after coming in to stop 13 of 14 shots (.929 SV%) in the first period vs. the Rangers and will take on the Islanders on Tuesday. The 38-year-old has had a disappointing start to his campaign, as he is 2-2-21 with a .892 SV% and 2.83 GAA. He will head to Long Island Tuesday to take on New York, who has struggled offensively placing 23rd in the NHL in goals per game (2.7) and 18th in shots per game (30.9).

Fleury will make his second consecutive and fourth start of the season on Sunday against the Devils. The 20-year veteran is coming off his best start of the young season. Fleury stopped 31 of the 33 shots he faced in Friday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Capitals. He owns an .895 SV% and a 2.96 GAA along with a 1-1-1 record on the season. Fleury and the Wild draw a difficult assignment on Sunday with the Devils being sizable favourites at -170.

Fleury will return to the net on Friday for a Minnesota Wild team that has uncharacteristically been unable to keep the puck out of their net, regardless of who is in between the pipes. In two games this season (1-1-0), Fleury has a 3.55 GAA, which is slightly better than the Wild's league-worst 4.43 goals allowed per game. Fleury and the Wild will have a chance to get things back on track Friday as they visit a Washington Capitals team that is scoring an average of only 2.00 goals per game, second lowest in the league.

After an excellent performance in his first game of the season on Tuesday, in which he saved 27 of 29 shots in a 5-2 victory over the Montreal Canadiens, Fleury will find himself in the starter's crease for the second consecutive game. Dean Evanson and the Wild coaching staff clearly have faith in Fleury and, as such, the veteran netminder might see more action this season than initially anticipated. Filip Gustavsson will probably still see the heavier workload in net for Minnesota but it could be closer to a timeshare if Fleury continues to give his team a chance to win. Minnesota enters action on Thursday night as a slight -108 favourite against a Los Angeles Kings team that is coming off a dominant 5-1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets.
