Marc-Andre Fleury Set To Make Eighth Straight Start
4 years agoVegas Golden Knights goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury will be in between the pipes as his team hosts the visiting Minnesota Wild on Monday. The 36-year-old, who has regained starting duties with netminder Robin Lehner out due to an injury, is coming off a victory versus the Ducks on Saturday in which he turned aside 28 of 30 shots against. Fleury has been spectacular in 12 starts in 2020-2021, turning back the clock with nine wins, a 1.59 goals-against average, a .941 save percentage and three shutouts thus far. He's earned back his status as a number-one fantasy goaltender and should be cemented in starting lineup each night he draws a start.

Marc-Andre Fleury Leads The Way On Saturday
3 months agoMinnesota Wild goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 36 of the 37 shots he faced en route to defeating the San Jose Sharks on Saturday evening. The Wild were heavily outshot in this contest but the 40-year-old netminder was able to deliver a victory. William Eklund was able to beat Fleury on a backhand shot late in the second frame. Fleury has now won each of his previous three starts. He has posted a stellar .952% SV and a 1.50 GAA during this span. Across 14 games this season, Fleury holds a 9-3-1 record with a .910% SV and a 2.54 GAA. Fantasy managers should continue to expect Fleury to operate as the clear No.2 option behind Filip Gustavsson, but he does carry upside in favorable matchups in DFS and shallow formats.
