Fleury will be in goal for Monday's game against the Devils, Tom Gulitti of The Record reports.
Fleury lost each of his last three starts, but he will have a chance to get back in the win column against a Devils team that has won just three times since Nov. 21.

Fleury made 31 saves Saturday, but it wasn't enough, as the Penguins were blanked 3-0 by the Capitals.
Don't panic, but Fleury has given up three goals in his last three appearances. The Penguins have been playing with an extremely injury-riddled roster, however, so don't point the finger at the 30-year-old netminder. Fleury has been one of the best fantasy goalies this season, posting a 19-5-3 record, to go with a .928 save percentage and 2.12 GAA. Once the Pens return to better health, the wins will come easier for Fleury. Keep him rolling though, as he's so good he can steal games.

Fleury was the first goalie off the ice at practice, and is expected to start in goal Saturday against the Capitals, Alex Prewitt of the Washington Post reports.
Fleury will look to bounce back from his last performance, in which he allowed three goals on 10 shots in just over one period of action. At that point in time Fleury was starting his fourth game in six days, and was likely fatigued as a result. The NHL's holiday break should have provided Fleury with some much needed rest leading up to his match up against the Capitals on Saturday. Fleury is an impressive 19-4-3 on the season with a 2.09 GAA and a .929 save percentage.

Fleury was pulled Tuesday after allowing three goals on 10 shots in little more than one period of action.
The Flower was starting his fourth game in six days and the wear and tear showed. Pittsburgh battled back from a 3-1 deficit (when Fleury was yanked), with backup Jeff Zatkoff officially taking the loss.

Fleury will assume the crease Tuesday against the Lightning, Dave Molinari of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Fleury's workload has begun to mount of late, but with regular backup Thomas Greiss away from the team while he remains under evaluation for the mumps, the Penguins' top netminder will make his third start in four games. He should benefit from the three-day break in the NHL schedule that follows, and hasn't shown much sign of wear thus far. Though he did fall in a seven-round shootout Monday against the Panthers, Fleury still posted a save percentage above .915 for the fifth straight outing. He should be a respectable option against the Lightning, whom he held to two goals on 30 shots in a match last week.

Fleury gave up three goals on 37 shots in a 4-3 shootout loss to the Panthers on Monday.
He stopped Florida's first six shootout chances before getting beat by a one-handed Aleksander Barkov backhander. Fleury surrendered a pair of soft goals Monday -- his fluffiest in a good while -- during an otherwise strong showing. The Penguins haven't decided whether the Flower will start again Tuesday. Backup Thomas Greiss is unavailable, leading the team to recall Jeff Zatkoff from AHL WIlkes-Barre.

Fleury will start in net against the Panthers on Monday, George Richards of the Miami Herald reports.
Fleury will be looking for his 20th win of the season against Florida on Monday. The 30-year-old will also enter the contest with a save percentage of .933 and is only allowing 1.97 goals per game.

Fleury made a season-high 45 saves in a 3-1 victory over Florida on Saturday.
He kept his composure nicely, given that three of the defensemen playing in front of him were inexperienced first-or second-year blueliners. Expect Fleury to play in one of two back-to-back games Monday and Tuesday.

Fleury was the first goalie off the ice at the Penguins' morning skate and is thus in line to start Saturday's game against the Panthers, Seth Rorabaugh of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Fleury is coming off his NHL-best sixth shutout of the season his last time out Thursday against the Avalanche, which also earned him his third straight victory. His stellar play hasn't dipped much since signing a long-term extension with the Penguins in November, as he enters Saturday's contest with a 18-4-2 record, 2.01 GAA and .930 save percentage.

Fleury reeled off his NHL-high sixth shutout Thursday, stopping 29 shots in a 1-0 OT win over the Avalanche.
A quick bout with an illness Wednesday was not enough to slow the netminder, who set a personal best in single-season shutouts (just 31 games into the 2014-15 campaign). Coach Mike Johnston said after the game that the team is managing its opponents' second-shot opportunities, insulating the goalie. Fleury (18-4-2), who entered the Colorado contest with a 2.10 GAA and .927 save percentage, will ultimately be judged by his postseason play, but fantasy owners continue to take advantage of his regular-season success.
