Marc-Andre Fleury Yanked In Blackhawks Loss
3 years agoSaturday night did not go well for Marc-Andre Fleury and the Chicago Blackhawks. The veteran goaltender was yanked in the first period of the club's 5-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins after allowing four goals on 10 shots. Kevin Lankinen replaced Fleury in the net and allowed just one goal on 16 shots. The former Penguins and Golden Knights netminder will soon turn 37-years-old and has struggled early while facing a lot more high-quality shots than he was used to seeing in Vegas. With a modest defensive corps in Chicago, Fleury can expect to see more of the same moving forward although he should settle in as an average NHL goalie this season. His days of being an elite goaltender could be over.
