Fleury will be in the blue paint at home versus Seattle on Saturday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fleury will make his first start of the season in his final year in the NHL, as he announced in the summer that he would retire at the end of the 2024-25 campaign after playing 20 years. Fleury was 17-15-5 with a 2.98 GAA and an .895 save percentage in 40 regular-season appearances in 2023-24 with the Wild. He will face Seattle, who lost their opener 3-2 to the Blues on Tuesday.

Fleury allowed one goal on 22 shots in Friday's 6-1 preseason win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

The Wild scored twice in a four-second span in the first period, giving Fleury all the support he needed in the win. He wasn't tested heavily by one of his former teams, but it was still an encouraging start after he allowed five goals in his first preseason outing. Fleury and the Wild will turn their attention to the regular season, with their first game set for Thursday at home versus the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Fleury will make his second start of the preseason. He allowed five goals on 41 shots in his first outing versus the Jets. The 39-year-old goalie, who is in his final NHL season, is expected to share the crease with Filip Gustavsson in 2024-25.

Fleury will be in goal at home versus the Jets for Friday's preseason game, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fleury will get the nod for his first preseason action Friday. The 39-year-old veteran is expected to fill a timeshare role in the crease for the Wild this season, with Filip Gustavsson likely being his tandem partner.

Fleury stopped 23 of 26 shots in Thursday's 4-3 loss to Seattle, with the Kraken's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

EDGE Analysis

A 1-1 tie through two periods turned into a wild final frame, and Fleury hit the bench for the final two minutes with Minnesota down 3-2, only to see each team score once more. The 39-year-old netminder lost his final three starts of the season, leaving him with a 17-15-5 record, 2.98 GAA and .895 save percentage through 40 outings. A one-year contract extension he signed earlier this week will bring him back to Minnesota in 2024-25 as Filip Gustavsson's backup, and Fleury still has some personal milestones he can reach -- Flower needs two more shutouts to move into sole possession of 10th place on the NHL's all-time list.

Fleury will start Thursday at home against Seattle, per Jessi Pierce of NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Fleury struggled in his last start against one of his former teams, surrendering seven goals on just 30 shots in a 7-2 loss to Vegas on Saturday. The 39-year-old has recorded an .895 save percentage and a 17-14-5 record in 39 appearances this year. He will have a favorable matchup against Seattle, who ranks 29th in goals per game at 2.59.

Fleury agreed to terms on a one-year, $2.5 million contract extension with Minnesota on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Fleury will put retirement off for at least one more season, instead deciding to stick around with the Wild for his 21st NHL campaign. 2023-24 marks the first time Flower won't appear in the postseason since 2005-06 when he was a second-year player with the Penguins. Even with another year ahead of him, Fleury won't be able to top Martin Brodeur for the all-time wins mark considering Fleury is still 130 victories shy of Brodeur's mark.

Fleury will patrol the blue paint for the season finale against Seattle at home Thursday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fleury could be playing in his final career game, given his expiring contract and the fact that he has publicly stated he would only sign in Minnesota. If the Wild opt to go in a different direction, the three-time Stanley Cup winner is reportedly poised to hang up the skates. On the year, he is 17-14-5 with two shutouts, a 2.98 GAA and an .895 save percentage through 39 contests.

Fleury stopped 23 of 30 shots in Friday's 7-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Fleury didn't find much success against his former team, taking his fifth loss in his last six outings. The 39-year-old is down to 17-14-5 with a 2.98 GAA and an .895 save percentage through 39 appearances this season. Jesper Wallstedt is slated to start Saturday in San Jose, but the Wild's goaltending plans for the last two games of the season have not yet been announced.

Fleury is expected to start on the road against Vegas on Friday, per Sarah McLellan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

EDGE Analysis

Fleury will attempt to rebound after stopping just 21 of 25 shots en route to a 4-2 loss to Winnipeg on Saturday. He has a 17-13-5 record, 2.87 GAA and .899 save percentage across 38 appearances this season. Fleury has struggled somewhat against his former team, posting a record of 1-2-0 along with a 3.43 GAA and a .906 save percentage in three career contests versus the Golden Knights.
