Fleury made 24 saves in a 5-3 win over the Rangers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Two days after recording his 350th victory, the Flower held fort against New York, escaping with a huge win. The Pittsburgh goaltender entered Sunday with a 2.34 GAA -- he's compiled a goals-against average between 2.32 and 2.39 in each of the last five seasons. The Pens will need that consistency down the stretch following the loss of Evgeni Malkin (wrist).

Fleury will slide between the pipes Sunday against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Fleury set aside 25 of the 27 shots he faced in a win over the Blue Jackets on Friday, upping his record to 28-16-6 on the campaign. He will face another top-tier netminder Sunday (Henrik Lundqvist), but the Rangers will be playing on back-to-back days. This could work in Fleury's favor, and there's nothing about his road splits (2.34 GAA, .921 save percentage) that detracts from that, but his 10-9-4 record suggests the team in front of him struggles more outside of Pittsburgh.

Fleury will be between the pipes in Friday's road game against the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Fleury played well in his last start, stopping 25 of 27 shots, but ultimately suffered a 2-1 loss to the Islanders on Tuesday. The 31-year-old netminder will look to get back in the win column Friday in a surprisingly tough road matchup with a hot Columbus club that has won two of its last three games, scoring at least five goals in each of those victories.

Fleury stopped 25 of the 27 shots he faced in Tuesday's 2-1 defeat at the hands of the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
It was a tough loss for Fleruy, as he played extremely well. His teammates in front of him didn't do him any favors, allowing New York four power-play opportunities. Both goals allowed came on the man advantage. The 31-year-old now has two straight losses after winning five of his prior six starts.

Fleury will work in the cage Tuesday as the road starter against the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
According to the NHL's media site, Fleury needs just one victory to become the 20th netminder in the league to reach 350 career wins. He'll probably have to work hard for the milestone, as the Isles boast the fifth-ranked offense in the league.

Fleury gave up four goals on 30 shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Well, that wasn't supposed to happen. The Flames came into the game on a seven-game losing streak, and with Fleury only allowing two goals in his last three outings (all wins), the netminder was expected to emerge victorious. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case, but fantasy owners shouldn't be discouraged -- the 31-year-old still sports a 2.35 GAA and .921 save percentage on the year.

Fleury will protect the net against the Flames on Saturday, Josh Yohe of DK on Pittsburgh Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fleury has allowed a mere two goals in his last three contests and posted a 0.67 GAA in that time. The netminder will have a top-end fantasy value on Saturday as he faces a struggling Calgary team that is on a seven-game losing streak. Combined with Pittsburgh recent run of goal scoring, the 31-year-old has a great chance at recording his 28th victory of the year.

Fleury stopped 27 of 28 shots Thursday in a 4-1 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Since a five-goal disaster in Boston on Feb. 24, Fleury's lit aflame, giving up just two goals over three starts -- all wins. Pittsburgh's early struggles threw a wrench in things for Fleury's fantasy owners this year, but he's long since gotten back to winning games in bunches. A matchup with Calgary on Saturday doesn't look too intimidating, and he has starts against the subpar Devils and Jackets offenses coming up too, so it's a good time to be a Fleury owner.

Fleury will be at home to square off against the Rangers on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Fleury was shelled by the Bruins last Wednesday, allowing five goals on 29 shots, but the 31-year-old didn't let that shatter his confidence as he followed up with two consecutive home wins, including a shutout against the Coyotes in his most recent match. Fleury's generally a safe option in all fantasy leagues, but understand that he'll try to put up a wall against a Rangers team that averages 2.81 goals per game, seventh in the league.

Fleury was perfect Monday, thwarting all 30 shots in a 6-0 beatdown of the visiting Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Fleury now has five shutouts on the season and 43 in his career. He's emerged victorious in four of his last five games and with a 2.34 GAA and .922 save percentage, is playing some of the best hockey of the season. That's great news for the Pens and fantasy owners, as the former will want him sharp for the playoffs while the latter can hopefully ride his strong play to a fantasy championship in the final quarter of the season.
