Fleury was the first goalie off the ice in Thursday's morning skate, according to Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. This makes him the probable starter in goal for the evening tilt against the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Fleury has appeared in the first three games for the Penguins, having been handed losses in each contest. The competition doesn't get any easier Thursday night, considering Ottawa boasts a 3-1-0 record and currently leads the Eastern Conference with 16 team goals.

Fleury lost his third straight decision Tuesday, allowing three goals on 30 shots in a 3-2 loss to Montreal.
EDGE Analysis
He had moments of strong play, such as when he stoned the Habs and Tomas Plekanec on a 3-on-1 (while Montreal was short-handed) but the game-winning goal he allowed to Max Pacioretty could be characterized as soft. Fleury typically offers fantasy owners plenty of victories with mediocre peripherals, but right now the team is struggling at both ends of the ice and wins are hard to come by.

Fleury was the first goalie off the ice in Tuesday's morning skate, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports. In all likelihood, this means he'll be the starting goalie against the Canadiens later in the evening.
EDGE Analysis
Fleury has an 0-2 record to start the season, having lost to the Stars and Coyotes on the road. In 32 career games against the Habs, Fleury has posted an 18-10-3 record, 3.01 GAA and .897 save percentage.

Fleury made 37 saves on 39 shots in a 2-1 loss to the Coyotes on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Fleury was much better in his second outing, giving up just two goals, one of which came off a loose puck scrum in the crease, but still got the loss despite the solid performance in net. It doesn't help that his teammates have only been able to score once in the first two games of the season, but hopefully that will change with the home opener on Tuesday.

Fleury was the first goaltender off the ice at morning skate, and will get the start in net Saturday against the Coyotes, according to Pens Inside Scoop.
EDGE Analysis
Fleury was shaky in Thursday's season opener against the Stars, allowing three goals on the 24 shots he faced. He'll look to submit a bounce back performance against an Arizona team that was second to last in goals scored in the NHL in 2014-15.

Fleury gave up three goals on 27 shots in a 3-0 loss to Dallas on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Two of the Stars' three goals came on the man advantage, an area which could cause the Pens problems as they figure out their most effective units after an offseason of change. Pittsburgh saw plenty of turnover on its blue line and it wouldn't be surprising to see Fleury's peripherals balloon during the early part of the season.

Fleury will be between the pipes in Thursday's season opener against the Stars, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fleury, who appeared in 64 games with the Penguins last season, is once again expected to be a workhorse for the team in 2015-16. He'll start the season with an unfavorable matchup, as the Stars ranked second best in goals scored per game last season, and added a few key offensive pieces such as Patrick Sharp this offseason.

Fleury is expected to start in goal Tuesday night against the Hurricanes, Seth Rorabaugh of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports, adding that he'll give way to Matt Murray at some point.
EDGE Analysis
Fleury has 11 years of NHL service time stopping pucks exclusively with the Penguins. Exhibition play will give the 30-year-old a chance to get his conditioning up to acceptable levels. Fleury has been a workhorse, having appeared in 64 games in each of the past two seasons. He's a strong buy in fantasy drafts as someone sporting a career goals-against average of 2.59 and .911 save percentage.

Fleury stopped 34 of 36 shots in Friday's Game 5 overtime loss to the Rangers.
While Fleury played sensational, the Penguins couldn't get more than one puck past Henrik Lundqvist, leading to their elimination from the 2015 Stanley Cup Playoffs. While the Penguins only lasted five games against the Presidents Trophy winners, it wasn't due to a lack of effort from Marc-Andre Fleury, who was exceptional throughout the series, posting a .927 save percentage and 2.12 GAA. Fleury, who has struggled in the playoffs in his past, can exit the postseason knowing he played his best and gave the injury-riddled Penguins a fighting chance against arguably the best team in the NHL.

Fleury will be between the pipes for Friday's Game 5 against the Rangers, Newsday's Steve Zipay reports.
Despite playing pretty solid, Fleury has lost three of four games to the Rangers thus far in the Penguins' opening series. He'll need some help from his offense in Game 5 for the Penguins to avoid elimination on Friday.
