Fleury was the first goalie off the ice at morning skate and is expected to start Wednesday versus the Hurricanes, Seth Rorabaugh of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. Backup Thomas Greiss is now healthy following a bout with the mumps, but that won't stop coach Mike Johnston from turning to Fleury for a likely eighth straight start. The netminder has taken losses in three straight outings, surrendering three goals on each occasion. An outing against the league's 29th-ranked team in scoring could be exactly what Fleury needs to get back on track.
