Fleury stopped 20 shots in Friday's 3-2 win over Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
The visitors grabbed a 2-0 lead early in the second period on a pair of Ryan Donato tallies, but Fleury shut the door the rest of the way as the Wild offense got rolling. The 40-year-old goalie has been used sparingly this season as the backup to Filip Gustavsson, but the usage seems to be agreeing with Fleury as he has yet to take a regulation loss this season, going 5-0-1 in six starts with a .904 save percentage.

Fleury will be tending the home twine versus Chicago on Friday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fleury is 4-0-1 with a 2.76 GAA and a .904 save percentage this season as the backup to Filip Gustavsson. He will face the bottom-dwelling Blackhawks, who have only 18 points in 22 games this season.

Fleury stopped 28 of 31 shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Fleury has rattled off four straight wins after losing his season debut versus the Kraken. The Oilers were a bit disorganized throughout this game, which saw the Wild's middle-six dominate. Fleury is 4-0-1 with a 2.76 GAA and a .904 save percentage over five starts. He played his 1,030th career regular-season game, moving past Patrick Roy for third-place all time among goaltenders. Fleury needs to make 15 more appearances to surpassed Roberto Luongo (1,044) for second place, which would put him behind only Martin Brodeur (1,266). Filip Gustavsson will likely get the start Saturday in Calgary in a matinee game.

Fleury will patrol the visiting crease in Edmonton on Thursday, Sarah McLellan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fleury will make his second start in the Wild's last nine games as Filip Gustavsson has run with the top job. Fleury is 3-0-1 with a 2.70 GAA and a .904 save percentage in what is his last season in the NHL. He will not have an easy time of things Thursday as he takes on Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and the Oilers.

Fleury stopped 24 of 26 shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Fleury handled the first half of a back-to-back and came away with his third straight win. The 39-year-old was bested twice by Sharks rookie Macklin Celebrini, but the Wild's top six and defense more than made up for it. Fleury is now 3-0-1 with 11 goals allowed on 115 shots through four starts this season. Look for Filip Gustavsson to play Friday in Anaheim. While nothing firm has been announced, Fleury's next start is likely to be either against one of his former teams, the Blackhawks, on the road Sunday or at home against his hometown team, the Canadiens, next Thursday.

Fleury is set to start on the road against San Jose on Thursday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fleury has a 2-0-1 record, 2.92 GAA and .899 save percentage in three appearances in 2024-25. This will be his first start since Oct. 29. He's getting a favorable matchup -- San Jose has a 4-8-2 record and is tied for 27th offensively with 2.43 goals per game.

Fleury stopped 26 of 29 shots in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Playing what was likely his final game in Pittsburgh, Fleury gave up two first-period goals and another one in the third frame, but the Wild managed to hang on for the victory. The 39-year-old veteran is clearly a backup at this point of his career, but he's been solid in his three appearances this season. He's gone 2-0-1 with a 2.92 GAA and an .899 save percentage.

Fleury is slated to start Tuesday's road game against Pittsburgh, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Although Fleury has started just two of the Wild's first eight games of the season, it isn't very surprising to see him tabbed to start in Pittsburgh, where he spent the first 13 years of his career. The 39-year-old has announced that he intends to retire following the 2024-25 season, so Tuesday's matchup should be his final regular-season start in Pittsburgh. Over his first two starts this year, he's generated a 1-0-1 record, 2.88 GAA and .900 save percentage.

Fleury made 22 saves in a 4-2 win over Tampa Bay on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
In the second period, Brandon Hagel beat Fleury with a short-handed goal from above the hash marks, and Nikita Kucherov ripped a one-timer past him. But other than that, Fleury was outstanding in his first win of the season and 562nd career win. The next-closest active goalie on the all-time win list is Sergei Bobrovsky with 399. Fleury has confirmed this is his last season, and at 39, he continues to be a solid match play in daily formats.

Fleury will tend the twine on the road against the Lightning on Thursday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fleury gave up four goals on 34 shots in an overtime loss to Seattle in his only other appearance this season. At this point, Filip Gustavsson has been too good to pull from the crease, having gone 4-0-1 with a 1.40 GAA in five contests. However, a road matchup in Pittsburgh on Tuesday could see Fleury starting again soon.
