Fleury stopped 29 of 33 shots in Sunday's 5-2 Game 4 loss to the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
The game was closer than the final score indicates, as two of St. Louis' goals came in the final two minutes. One of those was an empty-netter and the other was the fourth against Fleury. The series will shift back to Minnesota for Game 5 on Tuesday. Fleury has started the first four games, winning two and allowing 11 goals.

Fleury will get the starting nod in St. Louis on Sunday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
After coughing up four goals in Monday's Game 1 loss, Fleury has stopped a combined 61 of 64 shots over the last two games to give Minnesota a 2-1 series lead. He sports a .926 save percentage this postseason and could give the Wild a chance to close out the series at home Tuesday.

Fleury stopped 29 of 30 shots in Friday's 5-1 win over the Blues in Game 3.
EDGE Analysis
Fleury was spotted a 2-0 lead within 2:18 in the first period, and that was ultimately all he needed. After a dud in Game 1, the 37-year-old's bounced back with two strong starts to put the Wild ahead 2-1 in the series. Unless he falters, he should be assumed as the Wild's starting goalie throughout the playoffs, so he'll likely get the chance to strengthen his team's lead in Sunday's Game 4.

EDGE Analysis
Fleury was sharp in Wednesday's Game 2 against St. Louis, turning aside 32 of 34 shots en route to a convincing 6-2 home victory. He'll try to help the Wild regain home-ice advantage by securing a second straight win against the same Blues squad on the road Friday.

Fleury stopped 32 of 34 shots in Wednesday's 6-2 win.
EDGE Analysis

Fleury will guard the home goal during Wednesday's Game 2 versus St. Louis, source reports.
EDGE Analysis
This comes as a bit of a surprise, as Fleury wasn't great in Monday's Game 1, surrendering four goals on 31 shots, and the Wild have a highly capable No. 2 option in Cam Talbot, but the team will nonetheless turn to Flower in goal for a pivotal Game 2. If Fleury falters once again, don't be surprised to see Talbot get the nod for Friday's Game 3.

Fleury surrendered four goals on 31 shots en route to a 4-0 defeat in Monday's Game 1 versus St. Louis.
EDGE Analysis
Fleury was generally excellent against the Blues' first shot, but he continually gave up juicy rebounds which was a major contributing factor to the game's lopsided final score. It wouldn't be surprising to see Cam Talbot get the nod for Wednesday's Game 2 against St. Louis.

Fleury will patrol the blue paint at home for Game 1 against the Blues on Monday, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
After Fleury started four of the Wild's last five contests, it was certainly trending toward him being the Game 1 starter. The Flower will likely be on a short leash with Cam Talbot waiting in the wings but coach Dean Evason likely couldn't ignore the fact that Fleury has won the Stanley Cup three times in his Hall-of-Fame caliber NHL career.

Fleury stopped 27 of 28 shots in Friday's 4-1 win over Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
Fleury was sharp in the season finale, holding the Avs to just one goal. The 37-year-old goaltender has won three of his last four starts to end the regular season. Fleury finishes the season with a 28-23-5 record with a .908 save percentage in 56 starts between Minnesota and Chicago. Fleury heads into the playoffs on a high note as the Wild prepare to take on the Blues.

Fleury will tend the twine at home versus Colorado on Friday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fleury will take the second game of the Wild's regular-season ending back-to-back while Cam Talbot gets the nod versus Calgary on Thursday. Over his last four outings, the Flower's GAA has jumped up to 3.73 but he has still managed to record three victories in those contests. At this point, Fleury is the more likely Game 1 postseason starter given his experience but Talbot should be waiting in the wings if Fleury stumbles.
