Three of the four goals surrendered by Fleury came in the second period, including a pair while shorthanded. The 38-year-old netminder has dropped his last three starts as he falls to 1-2-1 with an .888 save percentage. While it's been an up-and-down start to the year for Fleury, he could see additional starting opportunities going forward, with Filip Gustavsson struggling of late.

Fleury will be between the pipes on the road versus Washington on Friday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fleury will be looking to bounce back after giving up five goals to the Kings in a 7-3 loss last Thursday. While Flower may have entered the season as the presumptive backup, Filip Gustavsson has been underwhelming to start the season, which could open the door for Fleury to see additional starts.

Fleury stopped 20 of 25 shots in Thursday's 7-3 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Los Angeles' final two goals were scored into an empty net. After an emotional win in Montreal on Tuesday, Fleury couldn't maintain his momentum and got beat four times in the first period alone.

Marc-Andre Fleury will defend the home crease versus the Kings on Thursday, coach Dean Evason said on Kevin Falness' radio show.
EDGE Analysis
This will be Fleury's second straight start after he was on the bench for the opening pair of games. Fleury excelled Tuesday versus the Canadiens, giving up two goals on 28 shots. Fleury was 24-16-4 with a 2.85 GAA and .908 save percentage last season. Expect to see him play around 30 games this season as Filip Gustavsson's backup.

Fleury made 27 saves in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
The 38-year-old Quebec-born netminder hinted before the game it could be the last of his career in Montreal, and his Wild teammates made sure the night was a good one for Fleury. Filip Gustavsson was in the crease for Minnesota's first two games of the season before Fleury saw any action, and Flower will likely see a lighter workload than he's used to in 2023-24, but he can still be effective when called upon. Fleury hasn't had a losing record in a season since he was a Penguin in 2005-06.

Fleury will patrol the blue paint on the road against Montreal on Tuesday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fleury will make his 2023-24 season debut in his home province of Quebec. The 38-year-old netminder saw action in 46 games last season in which he went 24-16-4 with a 2.85 GAA, .908 save percentage and two shutouts. The Wild will likely ride the hot hand between Fleury and Filip Gustavsson, but it should shake out to a relatively even share of the workload with a slight edge going to the younger Gustavsson.

Fleury stopped the six shots he faced in relief in Minnesota's 4-1 loss to Dallas in Game 6 on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Filip Gustavsson got the start, but didn't come out for the third period after surrendering three goals on 26 shots. Fleury did his part in relief, but the Wild were unable to stage a comeback and were eliminated from the playoffs. Dallas' final goal was scored on an empty net. Fleury wasn't charged with the loss, so he'll finish the 2023 playoffs with a 0-1 record, 5.55 GAA and .811 save percentage in two outings.

Fleury surrendered seven goals on 31 shots in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to the Stars in Game 2.
EDGE Analysis
Fleury took his fourth straight loss, and he's allowed 17 goals over that span. It's not surprising to see the Wild alternate goalies, but Filip Gustavsson has cleared outplayed Fleury for the better part of a month. It'll likely be Gustavsson who starts Friday's Game 3 at home.
