Fleury (concussion) will be a game-time decision for Wednesday's playoff matchup with the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Fleury did check several boxes indicating he'll play, as he was in the starter's goal for practice and was the first netminder off the ice, but concussions are hard to diagnosis and the team will likely need to monitor the 29-year-old for any side effects from the morning skate. If Fleury is unable to suit up, Jeff Zatkoff will tend the twine with Matt Murray (head) also out.

As of Tuesday morning, Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said Fleury (concussion) remains day-to-day reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fleury hasn't suited up since April 2, and the Pens are running out of time for the No. 1 goalie to get healthy before Game 1 of the Stanley Cup quarterfinals, beginning Wednesday at home. According to Wes Crosby of NHL.com, Fleury practiced Tuesday, saying that he , but wants to consult doctors before committing to playing in Game 1 against the Rangers, leaving his playing status as a game-time decision. The Pens are in desperate need of Fleury's return, as fellow goaltender Matt Murray is also day-to-day with an upper-body injury.

Although the Pens are listing Fleury (concussion) as day-to-day, it doesn't sound as though he'll play during the final weekend of the regular season. Coach Mike Sullivan said the goalie is "progressing" and could return within the next two weeks.
EDGE Analysis
Pittsburgh is being extra cautious with the netminder who has suffered a pair of concussions in the span of four months. Matt Murray continues to perform well in Fleury's absence, giving the team solid goaltending.

As of Tuesday morning, Penguins coach Mike Sullivan did not have an update on Fleury (concussion) or any his injured teammates, other than that they all are visiting their respective doctors.
EDGE Analysis
While the Penguins haven't announced such an arrangement, the team has already carved out a spot in the playoffs and can afford to hold out Fleury out for the three games remaining on the regular-season schedule. Unfortunately, Fleury's injury puts fantasy owners in a really bad spot as the last thing poolies want to worry about is a potential goose egg at the goalie spot. If fellow Penguins backstop Matt Murray is available, consider scooping him up as extra insurance with the Flower's status in limbo.

Fleury stopped 25 of 27 shots in Sunday's overtime win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
It was an impressive showing from Fleury, who helped the Penguins move within three points of the Rangers for second place in the division. The netminder has been playing very well of late, winning seven of his last eight games and boosting his save percentage to .921 on the season. With the Pens right in the thick of the playoff race, Fleury, who has posted 34 wins this year, is an automatic roll every game.

Fleury will draw the start in goal Sunday against the Rangers in New York.
EDGE Analysis
Fleury's results have been mostly positive of late, and he will look to continue that success Sunday in a matchup between teams jostling for playoff position. He'll make just his fourth start with no rest this season, and while his record (1-2-0) doesn't suggest he's been great, the 2.03 GAA and .924 save percentage indicate otherwise. Fleury has faced the Rangers three times already this season (2-1-0 record), and will look for another strong outing Sunday to edge the team closer to their competition.
