Fleury will be in the blue paint against the Capitals on Thursday, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fleury returns to the starter's net after being dethroned by teammate Matt Murray (thumb) during the postseason. With Murray sidelined, the Flower has the chance to retake the role he has occupied for a over a decade. In daily contests, the 31-year-old can still provide top-tier fantasy value, but season-long owners will be taking a bigger risk with the potential of coach Mike Sullivan employing a two-goalie system once Murray is cleared to return.
