Fleury (illness) will start Thursday's game against the Avalanche, Dave Molinari of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. Fleury appeared to be facing some sort of absence after coming down with an illness Wednesday, but tests revealed he is not dealing with the mumps virus, and it turns out his illness should not cost him any action at all. Fleury will take on a Colorado team that has won just one of its last six games entering Thursday's contest.
