Marc-Andre Fleury News

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.

After serving as backup to Filip Gustavsson for the first two games of the season, Fleury will make his first start of the 2023-24 campaign. Fleury is in the 18th year of his NHL career and is coming off a season where he recorded a 2.85 GAA and .908 SV% in 46 games (24-16-4). Fleury's Vezina-caliber years are behind him but the veteran still has what it takes to serve as a reliable backup behind Gustavsson on what should be a defensively sound Wild team.

Fleury allowed four goals on 31 shots in the Wild's loss in Pittsburgh last Thursday. Fleury has now allowed at least three goals in five of his last six outings while going 3-2-1 with a .907 SV%. Tonight he faces a Jets team that has won four of their last five games while averaging 4.2 goals per game.

Fleury allowed three goals on 42 shots (.929 SV%) for his second loss in three games as he was handed the loss by Vegas in his previous start. The 38-year-old has had an up-and-down season this year splitting starts, with his 24-14-4 record, 2.82 GAA and .910 SV%. He will face his old squad in the Pittsburgh Penguins, who have lost three of their last five games and are fifth in the NHL in shots per game (34.4).

Fleury allowed four goals on 34 shots (.882 SV%) to snap a seven-game winning streak as he was defeated by the Philadelphia Flyers in his previous start. The 38-year-old has been steadily outplayed all season by his understudy Filip Gustavsson but still has a decent 23-13-4 record, 2.85 GAA and .907 SV%. He takes on the Seattle Kraken, who have lost five of their last eight games and are fourth in the NHL in goals per game (3.51).

Fleury allowed three goals on 36 shots (.917 SV%) for his seventh-straight win as he beat Washington in his previous start to extend his winning streak. The 38-year-old has really come on as of late, leading to his 23-13-3 record, 2.83 GAA and .908 SV%, He will face the Philadelphia Flyers, who have lost five of their last seven games and are 30th in the NHL in goals per game (2.66).

Fleury stopped 31 of 36 shots (.861 SV%) for his sixth-straight victory as he beat St. Louis in his last game in a fiery affair. The 38-year-old has steadily improved his rough early season numbers, leading to his 22-13-3 record, 2.82 GAA and .908 SV%.

Fleury stopped 35 of 37 shots (.946 SV%) for his fifth-straight win as he beat the San Jose Sharks in his previous start. The 38-year-old has improved his season numbers a lot in the last month, leading to his 21-13-3 record, 2.76 GAA and .909 SV%. He will take on the St. Louis Blues, who are coming off a 5-3 loss to Vegas and are 28th in the NHL in shots per game (28.9).

Fleury allowed three goals on 19 shots for his third-straight loss as he was downed by Colorado in his previous start. The second-oldest goaltender in the NHL has been losing starts lately due to his shakey play, as shown by his 16-13-3 record, 2.98 GAA and .901 SV%. He will take on Columbus, who just snapped a two-game winning streak with a 3-2 overtime loss to Arizona.
