Fleury (concussion) has been activated from injured reserve.
EDGE Analysis
The Penguins experienced a bumpy road without Fleury, posting a 3-4-1 record while he focused on recovering from his concussion ailment. With a game set for Saturday evening, it has yet to be decided if Fleury will start in that contest but the team reportedly has sent Matt Murray to the minors to make room for Fleury. Meanwhile, Jeff Zatkoff, another backup, stays with the parent club.

Fleury (concussion) joined his teammates for practice again Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Fleury remains without a timetable for returning, but two consecutive days of practice is a good sign. If the 31-year-old is unable to go Wednesday or Thursday, expect fellow netminders Jeff Zatkoff and Matt Murray to split up the back-to-back.

EDGE Analysis
Fleury still appears to be a ways from rejoining the lineup, but is at least making minor progress in his recovery. Matt Murray and Jeff Zatkoff will continue to handle the duties in net until he rejoins the lineup.

Pittsburgh placed Fleury (concussion) on injured reserve Tuesday, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's thought that Fleury originally suffered his injury during Sunday's practice from a Chris Kunitz elbow to the head. GM Jim Rutherford believes his top goalie will miss at least 10 days. During that time, both backup Jeff Zatkoff and prospect Matt Murray are expected to share time in goal.

Fleury will miss at least a week, possibly more, after sustaining a concussion, Jenn Menendez of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fleury told team officials he was not feeling well following Monday's game against Washington, however coach Mike Sullivan told reporters "he didn't indicate when" the injury occurred. The 31-year-old netminder has rarely been out of the lineup for the Penguins during his 12 years in the league, missing only 42 games due to injury. Backup goalie Jeff Zatkoff should see the bulk of ice time while Fleury is out.

Fleury allowed four goals on 34 shots in a 4-1 loss to the visiting Capitals on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The game was a lot closer than the box score lets on, as the Pens were trailing 2-1 nearly midway through the third when T.J. Oshie struck for a pair of a goals to put things out of a reach. It wasn't a great first impression for Fleury and the Pens in front of new head coach Mike Sullivan in his first game behind the Pittsburgh bench. At any rate, Fleury is now 13-10-2 with a 2.29 GAA and .925 save percentage, numbers that illustrate that he's been carrying his share of the weight as one of the most heavily-used goaltenders in the league.
