2 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.

3 months agoMinnesota Wild goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury will guard the crease on Saturday against Philadelphia. The veteran makes only his eighth start of the campaign. Things have gone very well for Fleury so far, as he's coasted to a 5-1-1 record. Fleury has allowed 2.72 goals with a .905 save percentage. The Flyers are among 13 teams not to average at least three goals per game for the season, and it's a matchup that's brought Fleury a lot of success throughout the years. He has a 32-19-4 career record against Philadelphia, having beaten only the Rangers more times. We should see Filip Gustavsson back between the sticks when Minnesota closes out its back-to-back set against Vegas on Sunday.
