Fleury gave up three goals on 24 shots in Wednesday's 3-0 loss to the Wild in Game 6.
EDGE Analysis
Fleury kept the Wild at bay for two periods, but he got no help from his Golden Knights teammates. The Wild broke through in the third and put up three goals to force a Game 7. Fleury has now allowed three goals in each of the last two games, both losses. The 36-year-old has started all six contests in the postseason, but with his results fading, it's unclear if head coach Pete DeBoer will ride with him again Friday or turn to Robin Lehner with the series on the line.

Fleury led the Golden Knights onto the ice, indicating he'll make the road start in Wednesday's Game 6 versus the Wild, David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fleury has posted a 1.40 GAA and a .946 save percentage in the first five games of the series versus the Wild. He couldn't close out the series Monday in a 4-2 loss, but the 36-year-old will get another chance. He won both previous games in Minnesota, which could bode well for his chances Wednesday.

Fleury gave up three goals on 13 shots in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Wild in Game 5. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
EDGE Analysis
Fleury allowed three goals in a span of 7:28 during the first period, a stretch the Golden Knights couldn't overcome despite controlling the pace of play. The 36-year-old netminder has had few missteps in the playoffs -- he had given up just four total goals in the previous four games combined. Fleury will likely get another chance to close out the Wild in Wednesday's Game 6.

Fleury will start Monday's Game 5 against the Wild, David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fleury has been spectacular through this series' first four games, limiting Minnesota to just four goals on 116 shots for a 0.99 GAA and .966 save percentage. Minnesota will be desperate with its season on the line, but the Golden Knights have skated circles around the Wild thus far in this series, with Fleury there to bail Vegas out on the few chances Minnesota has gotten.

Fleury recorded a 35-save shutout in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Wild in Game 4.
EDGE Analysis
Fleury moved into a tie with Curtis Joseph for the third-most playoff shutouts in NHL history. One puck got by Fleury on Saturday, but the Golden Knights challenged the call for goaltender interference, and it was taken off the board. The 36-year-old netminder has been incredible with just four goals allowed on 116 shots this postseason. He'll look to help the Golden Knights advance to the next round, assuming he gets the start in Monday's Game 5.

Fleury was the first goalie off the ice at Saturday's morning skate, indicating he'll protect the road goal in Game 4 versus the Wild, Justin Emerson of the Las Vegas Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fleury has been spectacular through the first three games against the Wild. He's posted a .951 save percentage and a 2-1 record as the Golden Knights' No. 1 option in net to begin the playoffs. The Flower will look to keep up the strong performance with the hopes of bringing a 3-1 series lead back home to Vegas.

Fleury allowed two goals on 16 shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Wild in Game 3.
EDGE Analysis
Fleury had a third puck get by him in the first period, but the Golden Knights successfully challenged the play for offside. In the final 40 minutes, the Wild mustered just nine shots on net. Fleury didn't dominate Thursday, but he's now allowed just four goals on 81 shots for a .951 save percentage through three games in the first-round series. The crease appears to belong to the 36-year-old netminder, leaving Robin Lehner to serve as backup and wait for a chance to get in a game.

Fleury was the first goalie to exit the ice Thursday, David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review Journal reports, indicating he will be between the pipes against Minnesota on the road for Game 3.
EDGE Analysis
Considering Fleury has given up just two goals on 65 shots (.969 save percentage) through the first two games of the series, it would have been quite a shock to see Pete DeBoer turn to Robin Lehner. As long as the Flower continues to dominate in this series, he should maintain his place in the crease. It will be Fleury's 149th career playoff contest -- he's posted an 82-64 record and .912 save percentage with 15 shutouts in the postseason.

Fleury gave up one goal on 35 shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Wild in Game 2.
EDGE Analysis
Fleury has been nothing short of stellar through the first two games of the postseason -- he's allowed only two goals on 65 shots. The 36-year-old seems to be the hot hand for the Golden Knights, which could make him the primary netminder in the playoffs. It wouldn't be surprising to see him start Game 3 as the first-round series shifts to Minnesota on Thursday.

Fleury is slated to start Game 2 at home against the Wild on Tuesday, per David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review Journal.
EDGE Analysis
Fleury conceded just one goal on 30 shots in Game 1 but was still saddled with the overtime loss thanks to a lack of offensive support. The Flower will be making his third straight appearance between the pipes, the first time he has made multiple consecutive starts since late March. Still, if the three-time Stanley Cup winner falters at any point, coach Pete DeBoer likely won't hesitate to insert Robin Lehner into the lineup.
