Fleury will assume the crease Tuesday against the Lightning, Dave Molinari of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Fleury's workload has begun to mount of late, but with regular backup Thomas Greiss away from the team while he remains under evaluation for the mumps, the Penguins' top netminder will make his third start in four games. He should benefit from the three-day break in the NHL schedule that follows, and hasn't shown much sign of wear thus far. Though he did fall in a seven-round shootout Monday against the Panthers, Fleury still posted a save percentage above .915 for the fifth straight outing. He should be a respectable option against the Lightning, whom he held to two goals on 30 shots in a match last week.
